These tombs, considered among the richest ever discovered in the Mediterranean, shed light on the rulers of the ancient city and its prominent role in the copper trade.
The tombs, located beyond the sprawling 50-hectare Bronze Age city, feature underground chambers accessed via narrow passages from the surface. These chambers vary in size, with the largest measuring up to 4 x 5 meters.
However, what distinguishes the newly discovered tombs from their predecessors is the sheer abundance and exceptional quality of the artifacts. "We unearthed more than 500 Among the well-preserved skeletons found within the tombs, one discovery involved a woman's remains accompanied by dozens of ceramic vessels, jewelry, and a beautifully polished round bronze mirror. Adjacent to her lay the skeleton of a one-year-old child, accompanied by a ceramic toy.
The diadems featured intricate embossed designs depicting bulls, gazelles, lions, and flowers. Additionally, the expedition uncovered ceramic vessels predominantly originating from Greece and pots from Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt.
