In a stunning archaeological discovery, a Hellenistic site dating back to 300-150 BCE has been unearthed in Southern Aleppo, Syria. The site is believed to be a royal burial place, potentially for a local leader, and has been completely covered with soil for more than 1200 years, becoming an olive orchard in the process.
