During recent excavations near the Holborn Viaduct in London, archaeologists stumbled upon a Roman funeral bed.

Archaeologists have discovered a complete Roman burial bed during excavations in London. The Guardian reported this.

It was found on the site of a former Roman cemetery near the Holborn Viaduct, along with five oak coffins. Previously, only three Roman wooden coffins were found in the British capital.

The funeral bed is made of quality oak and has carved legs and joints held together by small wooden pegs. It was found disassembled in the grave of a man between 20 and 30 years old.

No other funerary objects were found at the site, but according to Michael Marshall, an artefact specialist at the Museum of Archeology in London, the tomb belonged to a high official.

Meanwhile, in another part of the cemetery, scientists discovered personal items including a necklace, a glass bottle and an ornate lamp dating from between 43 and 80 AD.

It was previously reported that in Kenya, archaeologist Veronica Waweru from Yale University discovered an “arcade” of ancient mancala game boards carved into rocks.

The tombs of a noble family dating back more than 1,600 years have been discovered in China.
