Treasure in Italy

One of Italy's first and most mysterious civilizations, the Etruscans (Etrurians) lived north of Rome in regions of Tuscany and Umbria. Their civilization lasted for about 1,000 years, reaching its height roughly from the 7th to the 6th century B.C., before its cities were replaced by Roman settlements.
Archaeologists have just discovered a more than 2,000-year-old Etruscan tomb perfectly preserved in the hills of Tuscany with a treasured artifacts inside, including urns that hold the remains of about 30 people. The tomb probably dates from between the 1st and 3rd centuries B.C., when Etruscan power was in decline. The main burial room was completely intact. Inside the tomb, a narrow corridor led to a small burial chamber. It housed about 80 objects including vases and mirrors in bronze and ceramic.
