        In 2003, our archaeologists excavated a small plot of land in Prittlewell, Essex. They discovered the astounding Anglo-Saxon burial chamber adorned with rare and precious objects, with some still hanging from the walls.pic.twitter.com/qd2Ra4qpUp

        Since then, a team of over 40 archaeological experts have worked to uncover information concealed for centuries under soil and corrosion, and now the chamber has been painstakingly reconstructed in incredible detail.

        We know the man buried here was around 5ft 8 inches tall, that he was of princely lineage and that it would have taken his community 113 person days to construct his elaborate burial chamber.pic.twitter.com/MyDxABD7cF
