Hosted by The Knights Who Say Nah, the Exclusive Preview Gives Attendees a Once in a Lifetime Opportunity to Interact with Artifacts IRL – including the Famed Alexandria Sword – and Watch How They’ll Come to Life in the Metaverse
NEW YORK, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The single largest private collection with many of the most important antique arms and armor has existed largely in secrecy – until now. On June 22nd, some of the rarest pieces in the world will travel to NYC to be on display for one night only at the exclusive preview hosted by The Knights Who Say Nah at The Explorers Club. Marquee items from the private collection – consisting of 6,000+ pieces across 50 countries, spanning 6,000 years – include the famed Harriet Dean Alexandria Sword that went missing for 72 years and an authentic Ulfberht sword, the same type of sword featured in the video game Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. These, among most of the other artifacts at the event, have never been available for public viewing. The event will debut the interactive 3D models of artifacts from the physical collection that will soon be released as NFTs.
Aware that the collection had never before been seen by the public, Nick Richey, its Keeper of Arms, started The Knights Who Say Nah to democratize access to its rare artifacts by digitizing the private collection through a series of NFT projects. The initial mint features PFP NFTs that represent different groups of ancient warriors and will be followed by a subsequent release of the cutting-edge 3D models. The project will debut in the summer of 2022.
While public interest in ancient arms and armor grows due to popular video games, like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and shows like Game of Thrones and Vikings: Valhalla, opportunities to see such pieces in person are limited. The Knights Who Say Nah aim to make these artifacts more accessible while supporting the institutions that educate the public on the history behind them. The minting and sales of the Knights NFT collections will support the purchase and donation of additional significant artifacts to museums and cultural institutions around the country. The Knights Who Say Nah hope to create opportunities for all to learn about the transformative cultures from the past in a never-before-seen Web3 format.
“We hope to open the door to a new way of experiencing some of the most impactful and influential artifacts from our past,” says Richey. “As we continue to shift to a Web3 world, our NFT collections will allow more people to learn about and interact with artifacts they otherwise would never have access to.”
Guests will have an exclusive first opportunity to view the rare artifacts in person, preview the NFT art, and join the guaranteed mint allowlist for The Knights Who Say Nah’s upcoming NFT collections.

U.S. Federal Reserve officials, beset by ongoing high inflation and a weakening growth picture, will lay out on Wednesday how they think their increasingly difficult goal of cooling the economy without sending it into a tailspin may play out in the months ahead. That thorny predicament will be on display as Fed policymakers are expected to deliver their second half-percentage-point interest rate hike in a row and issue their latest projections through 2024 and beyond for economic growth, unemployment and inflation. What is certain is their forecasts are likely to bear little resemblance to those issued in March, which showed inflation going down without a rise in unemployment or policy being particularly restrictive.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Google parent Alphabet has offered to let rival ad intermediaries place ads on YouTube to address a crucial part of an EU antitrust investigation that could pave the way for it to settle the case without a fine, people familiar with the matter said. The European Commission opened a probe last year to examine whether the world's largest provider of search and video was giving itself an unfair advantage in digital advertising by restricting rivals' and advertisers' access to user data. The EU competition watchdog singled out Google's requirement that advertisers use its Ad Manager to display ads on YouTube and potential restrictions on the way in which rivals serve ads on YouTube.

Logistics giant DHL will charge private customers more for parcel deliveries from July 1 as labour and transport costs have made price increases unavoidable, said the company on Monday. DHL, part of the Deutsche Post DHL Group, will increase the price to ship a parcel abroad by between 1 euro and 3.50 euros, excluding those bound for the United States, which, depending on the parcel size, will nearly double in price. "The company is only partially passing on to customers what are in some cases steep increases in airfares and the substantial rise in costs charged by delivery partners abroad to Deutsche Post DHL for delivering merchandise items," it said.
