An Ancient Greek Tomb

An ancient Greek tomb with artifacts dating back to 3000BC has been found during road construction on the Greek island of Lefkada.

Human skeletons, pottery and beads made of semiprecious stones were among the items discovered in the tomb.

The find could spark a dispute on the true homeland of Homer's Greek hero, Odysseus. The tomb, believed to be of the Mycenaean era, is one of a kind on Lefkada although dozens have been found in Crete.

Homer's Odysseus is believed to have been loosely based on events that took place during the Mycenaean period.
