Spectacular Discovery: 2,600-Year-Old Celtic Tomb Unearthed in Germany

Archaeologists reveal a well-preserved wooden burial chamber near the Heuneburg, offering new insights into early Celtic culture.

The burial chamber, found just 70 centimeters below the surface, is made from massive oak timbers and dates back to 585 BC.
Despite being plundered by ancient grave robbers, the site provides important archaeological value due to its unique preservation conditions.
The grave's location in a former moorland contributed to the exceptional preservation of the wooden structure by limiting oxygen exposure.
Initial finds include a wooden artifact resembling a club, crafted from a tree felled in 585 BC, and some human bones, possibly from a young male.
The site will undergo a three-year preservation process before being displayed at a new visitor center at the Heuneburg.
