Ancient Celtic Prince's


grave and chariot unearthed

The 2,500-year-old lavish tomb and chariot of an ancient Celtic prince have been unearthed in France.

The ancient princely tomb, which was discovered in a large burial mound, was filled with stunning grave goods, including gorgeous pottery and a gold-tipped drinking vessel. The giant jug was decorated with images of the Greek god of wine and revelry, and was probably made by Greek or Etruscan artists.

The stunning new finds "are evidence of the exchanges that happened between  the Mediterranean and the Celts," Dominique Garcia, president of France's National institute of Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP), told journalists at a field visit, according to France 24.

Amazing to think that this site was untouched and sitting there since the time of burial. Makes you wonder who this person was, what type of life they lived and what they did!

Sometimes I wish I had a crystal ball to scry the past for this kind of information.

I agree, very intriguing. Makes you wonder how we can know so much (science,astro physics, etc.) and so little about ourselves. Do you remember the Englishman who found all that gold in that field a year or two ago.
