Really old Canon

Okay, it's a cannon.... not a Canon :D

It is called the Tsar Cannon and it was built in 1586. It's considered the largest cannon in the world at sixteen feet long and weighing 85,000 pounds. Tsar Fyodor I (Ivan the Terrible's son) had it made.

BTW, it has never been fired lol.

Not sure if its the biggest, I know some off the coast of California were extremely large but were never fired out of agression. It is definetly one of the most ornate and beautiful cannons I have seen. I'm a nerd I know....its my majors fault.

It would be fun to see some of the details close up. I like the lion head under the barrel. The way it's shown it looks like the cannon balls just ploped out of the barrel and fell in a pile.
