Italian archaeologists open 2,600-year-old tomb for first time, find wealthy family’s treasures

Central Italy witnessed a noteworthy event as community leaders and archaeologists congregated in the town of Montalto di Castro.

Their purpose was the unveiling of a tomb that harkens back over 2,500 years, as reported by the municipality in a social media announcement last week.

“Today … we witnessed the opening of an ancient Etruscan tomb buried at the Osteria Necropolis in Vulci,” the municipality of Montalto di Castro, which sits along the Mediterranean Sea about 100 miles northwest of Rome, wrote Oct. 27 on Facebook, calling the grand unveiling “a day of culture and history” in a translated statement.

Historians trace the origins of the Etruscans to a region of land that forms part of contemporary Italy, with their civilization taking root as early as 900 B.C, CBS News reported.
