The Mycenean “Griffin Warrior”
In 2015, they excavated a tomb that dated back to 1450 BC. They found an intact male skeleton that came with 14,000 objects such as jewelry and weapons. They also found an engraving that provided them some clues about the identity of this man. While they failed to identify him, they believe that he was a Mycenaean warrior or priest.

They estimated him to be around five foot five inches, which was pretty tall around that time. They also found combs in his tomb, which suggested that he had long hair. Tobias Houlton and Lynne Schepartz, physical anthropologists from the University of the Witwatersrand, relied on his skull to create this digital interpretation of his face. They believed that he had a prominent jaw and close-set eyes.
