The Mycenean “Griffin Warrior”
In 2015, there was excavation on a tomb site that dates back to the Bronze Age, particularly around 1450 BC. Inside the tomb, an incredibly intact male skeleton and 14,000 objects, such as weapons and jewelry, were found by archaeologists. There was also an engraving found in the tomb, which could be clues to the identity of the man. Although it is not exactly known who the man is, experts guess he might have been a Mycenaean warrior or priest.

Based on the body that was discovered, the man is believed to have been roughly five foot five inches tall. In addition, the combs which were found in the tomb suggest that the Griffin Warrior had long hair. University of the Witwatersrand physical anthropologists Lynne Schepartz and Tobias Houlton used the skull to create a digital reconstruction of the man’s face. It is likely that the man’s eyes were close-set and that he had a prominent jaw.
