For hundreds of years it has been thought that the sword once belonged to Roland, a semi-legendary who fought for Charlemagne in the eighth century.

According to The New York Post, citing a report by The Telegraph, n sword that is regarded as France’s “Excalibur” has vanished from its stone. Per the publication, locals in the French town of Rocamadour believed the sword, Durandal, had been lodged in rock for around 1,300 years. A main attraction for the town, the sword could be found stuck in a sheer rock wall about 100 feet off the ground

Authorities in France are working to determine how the sword was taken from the 100 foot sheer rock face.

    These days it’s all “Glock in a rock”

    The march of technology is really bringing down the level of charm, if you ask me.

    Also, that’s my next public art exhibition, so nobody steal that idea while I work on becoming a famous avant-garde artist.
