Experts Unearth "King" of Ancient Site
ARCHAEOLOGISTS have dug up a 4000-year-old skeleton they're calling the King of Stonehenge. The grave, packed with nearly 100 precious objects, including gold, is the richest-ever Bronze Age find in Britain. The skeleton was found just two miles from world-famous Stonehenge in Wiltshire and was buried around 2300 BC.
Experts say he probably would have witnessed the giant boulders that form the mysterious stone circle being hauled into position. He was 5ft 9ins tall and buried in a style that indicated his extreme wealth and social importance.
