If fantasy provides the funding for this dig, all the better. Right?

...interesting update a few months later it was discovered that the prince was a princess... ;)

 

A bone analysis has revealed the warrior prince was actually a princess, as Judith Weingarten, an alumna of the British School at Athens noted on her blog, Zenobia: Empress of the East. [See Photos of the Unsealed Etruscan Tomb]
