Given the current state of the world, what if now was the right time for it to be found?

No, we need to find a kind hearted individual, who can save the world without turning into yet another tyrant. Maybe the sword will be the one choosing its next wielder.

i mean they’re runes, 99% of the time runes just say shit like “ulfberth who is very handsome, made this”

Archeologists digging in a cemetery just seems like cheating.

It’s an Anglo-Saxon cemetery, so it’s likely that they didn’t know it was a cemetery until after they started digging. The fact that they haven’t released its location to the public yet also suggests that it was previously unknown.
