Cyprus
A stunning gold wreath that was found in a 2,400-year-old tomb in Soloi, northern Cyprus, during 2005-2006 appears to have belonged to an aristocratic family.
The two intact tombs contain artefacts that have been imported from ancient Macedon (Greece) and Ionia (Turkey), clearly showing the influence surrounding the Macedonian era, just prior to the rise of Alexander the Great. One tomb contains a man, a woman and a child, and the other a woman and a child. DNA tests are now underway to determine their likely origin.
