Untouched 2,600-Year-Old Etruscan Tomb Unlocks Hidden Burial Secrets
Archaeologists from the SGARP project in central Italy uncovered a perfectly sealed 2,600-year-old Etruscan tomb with four skeletons and more than 100 artifacts, including bronze ornaments, iron weapons, and silver hair spools. Using modern techniques like ground-penetrating radar, the tomb remains intact and offers rare insight into Etruscan burial practices and social life; researchers will continue skeletal analysis as part of a university-led collaboration.
