(FOX NEWS) – Italian archaeologists recently unearthed ancient
Roman tombs during the excavation of a necropolis – including
one bearing the epitaph of a gladiator.

The discovery was announced by the Archaeology, Fine Arts
and Landscape (ABAP) Superintendence for the Metropolitan
Area of Naples on March 21.

In a statement translated from Italian to English, officials said
that the dig took place in Liternum, an ancient town near the
city of Giugliano in Campania.

On February 16, 1923, in Thebes, Egypt, English archaeologist
Howard Carter (center above) entered the sealed burial chamber
of the ancient Egyptian ruler King Tutankhamen.

In Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, British archaeologists Howard
Carter and Lord Carnarvon became the first people to enter
King Tutankhamen’s tomb in more than 3,000 years.

After 3,300 years, King Tut’s coffin leaves his tomb for the
first time.

Exactly three years after the end of World War I, the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier was dedicated at Arlington Cemetery in
Virginia during an Armistice Day ceremony presided over by
President Warren G. Harding (below).

Scientists have discovered sealed jars of wine from 5,000 years
ago in an Egyptian queen’s tomb.

According to SWNS, the British news, the find, one of the oldest
ever, was among the "grave goods" for Queen Meret-Neith in
Abydos, from 3,000 BC.

The University of Vienna researchers say she was the most
powerful woman in the period and possibly the first female
pharaoh of Ancient Egypt.
