Archaeologists in France are excavating treasures of a funerary tomb in the region of Champaigne that they believe was “fit for one of the highest elites of the first Iroon Age.” Inside the funerary chamber is a cauldron depicting the ancient Greek god of wine, Dionysus, as well as a giant knife and other artifacts that are believed to belong to a 5th Century BC Celtic Prince.

The tomb is one of the most remarkable finds of the Celtic Hallstatt period of 800-450 BC. Archaeologists from the French national agency INRAP made the find under a 40-meter tumulus on the edgge of a business park at Lavau. The tumulus covers 7,000 square meters and is surrounded by a ditch.
