Anglo-Saxon Prince burial chamber found

[Eldorado]

"A royal burial site found between a pub and Aldi supermarket has been hailed as the UK's answer to Tutankhamun's tomb.

Workmen unearthed the grave, which contained dozens of rare artefacts, during roadworks in Prittlewell, near Southend, Essex, in 2003.

Tooth enamel fragments were the only human remains, but experts say their "best guess" is that they belonged to a 6th Century Anglo-Saxon prince.

It is said to be the oldest example of a Christian Anglo-Saxon royal burial."

"They believe the burial chamber, unearthed near a pub and an Aldi supermarket, may have held the remains of Seaxa, brother of King Saebert."

It's awesome that they can put a name to the grave. Like with Sutton Hoo and Raedwald.

Fantastic discovery but i'd have thought 'Sutton Hoo' would have been our closest to Tutankhamen's tomb.
