DISCOVERY OF A ROOM NAMED THE 2000 YEAR OLD TOMB OF CERBERUS IN ITALY |
|
During an archaeological study prior to the modernization of the water supply system in the municipality of Giugliano in Campania, a remarkably preserved burial was discovered in a cultivated field near Naples. Initial analyzes indicate that this tomb dates back around 2,000 years. The tomb was sealed by a slab of tuff and, upon its opening, the burial chamber revealed dazzling frescoes adorning its walls. Among these, an exceptional depiction of the three-headed dog Cerberus is particularly noteworthy, hence the apt nickname of the "Tomb of Cerberus". |
