Archeology Discoveries

Anyone else here interested in archeological discoveries? I was browsing around recently and saw this story of a very interesting discovery in Greece. The images of these statues they found is absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to see what else they may find here:

I have been following this story for awhile now. The statues look like weeping angels (Who nerd!) I want to see more! It appears looters may have been in there at one point, but overall the chamber seems to be intact!
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

Wow, this is amazing. First I've heard of it, those caryatids are exquisite, just amazing. I'm really curious to hear the story behind the tomb, and who may have been buried there. Seems like a pretty significant thing.
