Back in 2015, archaeologists made a discovery in Greece that was heralded as one of the country’s most important finds in centuries. Digging near Pylos, Sharon Stocker and Jack Davis, both researchers at the University of Cincinnati, led a team that uncovered a 3,500-year-old undisturbed tomb filled with an enormous array of treasures.
They had found the Griffin Warrior, who they would later determine to be one of the first possible kings in Pylos. And with a recent DNA analysis, researchers know more of where this warrior was from and the region he ruled over.
