When University of Cincinnati researchers uncovered the tomb of a Bronze Age warrior —left untouched for more than 3,500 years and packed with a spectacular array of precious jewelry, weapons and riches—the discovery was hailed by experts as "the find of a lifetime."

Now, only a year after archaeologists completed the excavation [near the city of Pylos, an ancient city on the southwest coast of Greece], new understandings of the artifacts—particularly the discovery of four golden rings—and the insights they provide to the origins of Greek civilization may prove to be the team's next big discovery.

    The gold signet ring shows women who look surprisingly like Disney princesses!

    I have often wondered why the main feature of a princess in Disney is a huge bum!
    Now we know - it is a 5,000 year old tradition!
