Friends of Antiquity Sunday Series – Unearthing an Ancient Warrior
Buried for more than 3,500 years, the Griffin Warrior lay hidden near Pylos in Greece until was unearthed.
One of the most important archaeological finds of recent decades, the tomb's extraordinary weapons, jewellery and finely crafted sealstones illuminated a pivotal moment in Aegean history and overturned long-held assumptions about the early Mycenaean world.
Join Dr Annabel Florence for a fascinating journey into the power, artistry and cultural exchange of the Bronze Age as new discoveries shed light on the origins of ancient Greece.
