I found a Golden Age tomb. Sadly, it was lined with bronze.

All the gold in Greece is buried in the middle of Pylos in somebody else’s name.

They had their gold medal bronze plated to make it last longer.

I’m always amazed at journalist who write stories about fantastic archaeological finds and then forget to take or supply pictures of the finds... A picture is worth a thousand words.

Whatever happened to “find, shovel and shut up”?

“...as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold - everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment - an eternity it must have seemed to the others standing by - I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, 'Can you see anything?' it was all I could do to get out the words, 'Yes, wonderful things.” ― Howard Carter, The Tomb of Tutankhamen Gold still Wows Em even after 3/4 thousand years

Question: Why do most of the discoveries in archaeology come from academics outside of the country of interest? You would think the Greeks would take pride on doing this on their own. I really am curious.

If you asked these archaeologists the day before they made this find, they would surely have said “We’re happier finding an old latrine than a room full of gold because the latrine tells us things about the people while gold is pretty but we don’t learn much from it.” I’d bet that he day after they were like “Did you see what we found! Boom! Find of a lifetime! We’ve all dreamed of a find like this!”

“Archaeologists find Bronze Age tombs lined with gold”

Heck, we have an ex-President and ex-VP that have their pockets lined with gold.
