last week, ancient catacombs were discovered near Nemea, Greece in the Peloponnesian Peninsula at the Aidonia burial site. Two chamber tombs unearthed and not looted dating back to 1200 BC has five burial tombs and skeletons of fourteen people who were transferred there from other tombs. As well as it was filled with clay pots and other objects such as figurines.
These chambers will give a new insight to archaeologists that will help them understand the development of the ancient civilization as well as it's connection to other discoveries. After heavy looting of the area mostly in 1977. Excavation of the site begin a year later by the archaeological service under the supervision of Kalliopi Kristalli-Votsi and Constantina Kaza, which shed light on twenty chamber tombs. The site consisted of entrances to an access road that leads to the burial chambers. Most of them were already looted but at least some were completely left untouched as they have found an ancient treasure trove of jewelry.
This has prompted a need to excavate other tombs that were considered to be in danger of being looted. As the ministry has launched it's systematic research program in 2016 which has documented the existence of additional tombs that were still intact from past excavations.
