Interviewing The Witness

The farmer showed them the hole at his farm. There was a group of four people who were going to lead this investigation. One of the team leads took the farmer aside and requested him to describe the event in as much detail as he could. The farmer began recalling the events of that day and began to narrate the incident to him.

Exploring The Site

Meanwhile, the rest of the team began to secure the area. They were loaded with tools like hand shovels, spades, buckets, mattocks, etc. They started to set everything up, their desks, their instruments, putting up shade, etc. The farmer watched in anticipation, it looked like people were preparing for an exciting event. 

Initiating The Process

After securing the site, the archaeologists began to dig into the hole to open it up more and get to the bottom. It was like a show, people working at the same time in perfect coordination. People were clicking pictures and uploading them to a digital library. Everyone was excited but nobody could have predicted what they were about to see.

Digging Deep

The digging was taking longer than anticipated. People were still going at it. The hole was almost 2 meters wide and they were still digging deeper. The farmer started getting anxious, was he mistaken? Is there nothing inside this hole? On the contrary, the archaeologists were not giving up. They were used to these kinds of explorations.

Finding Something

After digging for hours, the experts finally felt something. The hole was enclosed with a carved limestone measuring 2.5 meters wide. At the bottom of the hole, they found two small coffins placed on the northern-most and southern-most ends. The archaeologists knew one thing for sure, they had just discovered a buried tomb.

Perpetual Speculations

The group immediately started clicking pictures of the revealed base of the hole. The tomb didn’t only have coffins but a bunch of other artifacts too. The coffins had intricate patterns on them, which resembled the ones from the Minoan dynasty. But they had to clean it up to reveal what the drawings on it were.
