Greece
Eighty skeletons found in a mass grave in Greece were all shackled and appear to have been the victims of a mass execution.
All of the victims are of a young age and were bound by the hands with iron shackles, but no clues as to their identity has yet surfaced. However, archaeologists are wondering if these victims were a part of a coup attempt that occurred in 632 BC, carried out by an Athenian noble and Olympic champion named Cylon. Very intriguing stuff indeed…
Dating to between the 8th and 5th centuries BC, the cemetery was unearthed earlier this year but the find has been kept away from public viewing until now. The Falyron Delta Necropolis is located between Athens and the port of Piraeus.
