The unusual burial is the first of its kind for Iran, and possibly for the rest of the world.

Maybe he was buried that way because he was such a fierce warrior and it was a sort of honor or last wish of his? Maybe to fend of grave robbers in some way?

Either way, it's a pretty cool discovery.

Is it just me or does he have a major underbite in that picture. XD
