7. Zeus Thunderbolts
While it's true that many gods wield weapons that are also used by man, in Greek Mythology, it is openly stated that the most powerful weapon in the world was not a sword, axe, or lance, but the thunderbolts that were crafted in the forges of Mount Olympus by the Cyclops to be wielded by none other than Zeus himself.

6. Bulg
Translating to "spear of mortal pain", the Bulg was one of the most feared weapons in Irish mythology, and a name that has been brought to many other cultures over the years because of its prominence. It was wielded by Cúchulainn in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, and it was said to have been crafted from the bone of a sea monster known as the Coinchenn.

5. Staff Of The Monkey King
In Chinese legends, one of the most prominent characters is that of Sun Wukong, aka the Monkey King. He was birthed from stone, and learned supernatural powers from Taoist teachings and certain artifacts. One such thing that gave him even more power was his legendary staff, called Ruyi Jingu Bang.

4. Trident Of Poseidon
Poseidon is one of the Elder Gods of Greek Mythology, and has been considered the God of the Oceans, Seas, Waters and many other interpretations of the word.

3. The Spear Of Destiny
When Jesus Christ was crucified by Roman soldiers, many events took place. But, one of the key parts of the crucifixion as noted in the Bible was Jesus being pierced in the side by a Roman spear.

2. Mjolnir
One of the most legendary and famed weapons in all of mythology, the hammer known as Mjolnir was given to Thor, son of Odin of the Norse gods, and was actually a gift from his brother Loki.

Arguably no sword in history is as famous as the Arthurian blade known simply as Excalibur.
Though there are many tales of Excalibur and how it came to the king known as Arthur Pendragon, the most famous of all is the one in which he pulled the sword from the stone. As legend had stated, and a prediction from Merlin himself, it proved his birthright as king:
"Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil, is rightwise king born."
