University of Cincinnati archaeologists have discovered a treasure trove of more than 1,400 objects including gold chains, semi-precious stones and Bronze Age weapons — a find that’s being touted as one of the most “magnificent displays of prehistoric wealth” found in mainland Greece in the past 65 years, according to UC Magazine.
The summer findings ranged from solid-gold rings, a three-foot bronze sort covered in gold and more than 1,000 beads, in an unopened shaft grave of a wealthy 30-something-year-old Mycenaean warrior, dating back 3,500 years, according to Shari Stocker, a senior researcher at the university.

The discovery was made at the former site of Palace of Nestor, a large complex with connections to the Homeric legend that was destroyed in a fire around 1200 B.C.
