A tomb in northern Iraq, first exposed by construction workers...



A tomb in northern Iraq, first exposed by construction workers in 2013, concealed the remains of at least six individuals. Along with dozens of ceramic vessels, a bracelet decorated with snake heads was found among the burials and helps date the tomb to the end of the Achaemenid Empire, or just after it. So somewhere between 400 and 550 BCE.

Sometime later, between 700 and 1600 CE, the tomb was reused and five more people were buried on top of the ancient skeletons.
