The grave is, according to experts, one of the richest burial sites to be found in living memory. Jack Davis and Sharon Stocker are the husband and wife who uncovered the site at Pylos in Greece. The 3,500-year-old warrior's skeleton was discovered with a haul of treasure including gold cups, rings and highly ornate carvings. The team who excavated the skeleton dubbed him the Griffin Warrior, having found various symbols of the mythical creature at the site.
