The Mycenean “Griffin Warrior”
In 2015, they excavated a tomb site that dated back to 1450 BC. This was around the Bronze Age! Inside, the archaeologists managed to find a male skeleton that was intact, together with 14,000 other objects such as jewelry and weapons. They also found an engraving in the tomb, which gave them clues about the identity of this man. His identity is still unknown, although it is possible that he was a Mycenaean warrior or priest.

They estimated that the remains they found belonged to a man around five foot five inches tall. In those days, that height was considered tall! They found combs in the tomb of the Griffin Warrior, so they believe he had long hair. Lynne Schepartz and Tobias Houlton, physical anthropologists from the University of the Witwatersrand used this skull to create a digital interpretation of his face. They believe he had a prominent jaw and close-set eyes.
