Swedish expedition uncovers rare treasures in Cyprus tomb

An archaeological expedition in Cyprus has uncovered tombs rich in artifacts and antiquities, making it one of the richest discoveries in the Mediterranean region. The tombs, located near the Bronze Age trading city of Hala Sultan Tekke, are believed to have belonged to the ruling class who were involved in copper trade. The artifacts include precious metals, gems, ivory, and high-quality ceramics, with imports from Egypt, the Baltic region, Afghanistan, India, and Sinai. The discovery also revealed well-preserved skeletons, including that of a woman surrounded by ceramic vessels, jewelry, and a bronze mirror.
