Mythology is one of the most mysterious and interesting topics, and one of the things that makes it so attractive is the appearance of famous divine weapons.
10. Amenonuhoko
There’s no reason not to start this list with the Japanese Shinto weapon, believed to be the origin of all life on Earth.
With this jeweled naginata, Izanagi and Izanami stirred up the ocean, and when drops of water fell from the top of Amenonuhoko, they formed the first mainland called Onogoro-shima (Ongoro Island).
9. Zeus’ thunderbolt
Zeus is the supreme god in Greek mythology, the king of Mount Olympus.
According to the description, the thunderbolt is a powerful staff, radiating energy like a beautiful pure lightning bolt, with extremely terrifying destructive power.
From Mount Olympus, Zeus can control lightning during thunderstorms and can strike down any creature that irritates his eyes.
8. Mjolnir hammer
In Norse mythology, Mjolnir is the eternal treasure of the god Thor, created by a talented dwarf named Brock, with the assistance of his brother Sindri.
The hammer’s power is indeed surprisingly compatible with the power of the god of thunder.
In addition, the hammer can also shrink itself to easily fit into a pocket.
7. Sudarshana Chakra
The name Sudarshana Chakra is derived from two Sanskrit words.
This rotating circular disc is not just a simple metal Chakra, but it is the ultimate destructive weapon of Lord Vishnu.
Sudarshana Chakra is covered with 2 rows of sharp saw teeth that can rotate like chainsaw blades.
6. Pashupatastra
Pashupatastra is one of the most powerful weapons in all of Hindu mythology.
5. Fu Xiqin
The Fu Xi Dan is the musical instrument of Fu Xi (one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of China, husband of Nu Wa), made from jade, emitting white light.
4. Gaea’s sickle
Do you still remember the story of Earth Mother Gaea taking revenge on her husband, the Sky Titan Ouranos?
When Gaea lured Ouranos down to `have sex` with her, Kronos took this opportunity to rush out, `cut off Ouranos’ gun` and cut him into a thousand pieces.
3. Sword of the god Freyr
Legend has it that the god Freyr possessed a precious sword called Sumarbrander, which had the ability to fight without the owner’s orders, as well as being sharp enough to cut Gleipnir – the rope used to tie up the wolf Fenrir.
It would not be worth mentioning if during the battle of Ragnarok, Freyr was easily killed by the fire giant Surtur just because he did not have his sword in hand.
2. Surtur’s fiery sword
With the title of king of the land of Muspelheim – where the fire giants reside, Surtur needs to have a weapon that matches his power.
1. Varunastra
Created by Varuna, the god of water and sea in Indian mythology, Varunastra is the most maneuverable weapon of all time.
However, due to its versatility and lethality, Varunastra is not for the novice and can only exert its power in the hands of true warriors.
