Bronze lasts a long time because it barely corrodes in the right conditions compared to iron/steel which rusts the moment you look at it wrong.

Here's one that was made sometime around 700 BC and is in absolutely pristine conditions because the scabbard was so well made it was a practically air tight seal around the sword.

And then someone dropped it and cracked the blade!

tbh, a 7mm crack is the best case scenario
