World's First Rocket Launcher found by Archeologists

A 13th century rocket launcher was found at a dig in Kotzen,Germany.

A one of a kind find spotted in Germany today. Archeologist Imbiamba Jombes was out on a routine dig looking for lost WWI and WWII artifacts last tuesday when he found something remarkable. 25 feet under the surface of the earth, Jombes saw what he believed was a chest. After uncovering the entire thing, Imbiamba was quoted as saying That ain't no chest, that's a rifle case! The case itself is made of a fibrous root and inside was what seemed to be a bow and arrow with a makeshift bomb on the end.

After sending the container to the lab in Dummer, Germany, it was discovered that the case and weapon were carbon dated back to the 13th century. The weapon in questions seems to be a makeshift rocket launcher with some of the oldest gunpowder found in that area. Elbert Ainstein, one of the many researchers in the lab, said that This is by far the most interesting find of the 21st century. This find confirms our suspicions that Germans haven't been playing fair in wars since the beginning of war itself.
