During a clearing operation around the Queen's Tomb, an imposing parallelepiped-shaped funeral construction, 14 meters wide and 10 meters high, was discovered. It is a unique tomb with three burial chambers and three Doric doors carved into the rock.Photo: Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti Paesaggio Etruria Meridionale
Just like to thank you for your archeological related posts.
I find them terrifically interesting.....and a great departure from the heavy and many times infuriating political stuff.
Great job. 👍
Thanks!

Semi-flint? I have no idea, although it may refer to semi-translucent forms of flint.

I came to FR for the politics, but that’s not why I’ve stayed. Civ is The Man.
:^) Thanks!
They are amazing structures for being that old. I had to quickly look up some years as a reference. These tombs are from about the time when crops were first starting to be grown (which allowed for a civilization and time for this type of construction). Egyptian pyramids are from about 2500 BC.
