Archaeologists working at the ancient city of Corinth have discovered a tomb that dates back to around 2,800 years and was built at sometime around 800 B.C. and 760 B.C. – a time when Corinth was emerging as a major power. The tomb is decorated with pottery that bears zigzag designs.

It consists of a shaft and burial pit with a limestone sarcophagus around 5.8-feet long, 2.8 feet wide and 2.1 feet high. Researchers found a single individual inside with only fragments of bones surviving. It is believed that these remains are possibly from a wealthy individual.
