What He Found In There

How did Creasman describe the burial area of Nastasen? “There are three chambers with these beautiful arched ceilings about the size of a small bus,” the archaeologist told the BBC. “You go in one chamber into the next, [and] it’s pitch black. You know you’re in a tomb if your flashlights aren’t on. And it starts revealing the secrets that are held within.”

Their Efforts Were Worth It

It was a good thing that their efforts to enter the burial chamber had been worth it. Creasman informed Newsday that there were some habits left there. “The gold offerings were still sitting there – these small glass-type statues [that] had been leafed in gold,” explained the archaeologist. “And while the water destroyed the glass underneath, the little gold flake was still there.”
