Archaeologists have discovered an Etruski tomb in Italy, creating wall paintings on its walls.
A 5 -year -old tomb decorated with bright red wall paintings was discovered in an ancient cemetery in Italy.
The tomb was made by Ethersus, the people who lived in Italy in the middle of the first millennium BC.
The Italian Ministry of Culture issued a statement that the tomb includes colorful wall paintings that depict various scenes. One of these paintings shows a woman who is probably a deceased. While another scene depicts a metallurgical workshop.
The painting of the workshop shows that the deceased’s family was a metalman. Daniel Federico Mararas, director of the National Museum of Archeology and the head of a group of archaeologists who explored the tomb, said:
The inclusion of a unique scene of forging in the painted decorations of a wall allows us to take a brief look at the economic resources of this family’s wealth that was openly involved in the metal trade.
One of the wall paintings of the tomb, which depicts a scene of music and dance, may portray the true funeral of the deceased. Mararas said I was “interpreted by researchers as referring to a ceremony held at family members’ funerals.”
The absence of inscriptions, human remnants, and burial objects show that the tomb has been looted in the past. The tomb is located in the Tarquinia cemetery, about 2 kilometers northwest of Rome. Mararas said.
About 2.5 tombs have been identified and classified in Tarkinia, and about 2 of them have been decorated with painting.
The tomb was found in year 6 and was recently explored and detailed. According to a statement released, the analysis of the tomb is ongoing, and this group of researchers intend to use multi -spectral imaging technologies to examine paintings and determine which colors have disappeared.
