Archaeologists from the University of Gothenburg have concluded an excavation of two tombs in the Bronze Age city of Hala Sultan Tekke in Cyprus. The finds include over 150 human skeletons and close to 500 objects - including gold jewellery,.
Luxury artifacts discovered in tombs near a sacred Muslim site in Cyprus have allowed the experts to deduce this was a hotspot of trade and travel over 3,000 years ago.
“We also found a ceramic bull. The body of this hollow bull has two openings: one on the back to fill it with a liquid, likely wine, and one at the nose to drink from. Apparently, they had feasts in the chamber to honour their dead.”
