Roadworks in southern Greece have unearthed a rare Mycenaean grave thought to be well over 3,000 years old and containing important burial offerings including a gold chalice, according to a report from Reuters today.
Archaeologists said it appeared to be the grave of a local military official and was the first time a single grave had been found with such a combination of objects -- including a bronze and gold sword, and a bronze spear point, knife and pot.
Pottery found in the grave dated it to around 1,200 BC.

How is that they find something so important near Athens and not one reporter can take pictures to post with the story, what century do we live in? Why even bother reporting it?
