The Late Minoan grave - which was inadvertently discovered by a local resident - was intact and contained an adult's well-preserved skeleton. It is believed it dates to the Bronze Age, some time between 1,400 and 1,200 BCE

The burial was found eight feet (2.5 metres) below the ground and contained funerary possessions such as a cup, a wine mixing vessel and fifteen amphorae containers.
The grave was found in an olive grove near the town of Ierapetra.

The tomb was discovered via a vertical channel and was divided into three chambers, according to the Greek ministry of culture.
The Minoans are perhaps best known for the myth of the Minotaur, a story that was keenly encouraged by Sir Evans.

The 3,500-year-old tomb of a Minoan man surrounded by funerary possessions including an ancient wine mixing vessel has been found on the island of Crete.

The Minoan civilisation arose on the Mediterranean island of Crete in approximately 2600BC and flourished for 12 centuries until around 1400BC.

It was discovered by British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans who unearthed Knossos, The Minoan capital city, in 1900.

Knossos is believed to have been the home of the legendary King Minos, who commissioned the Labyrinth to contain the Minotaur, a terrifying hybrid born of a union between his wife and a bull.

The Late Minoan grave - which was inadvertently discovered by a local resident - was in an underground cavern sealed with clay and contained an adult's well-preserved skeleton.

It is believed it dates to the Bronze Age, some time between 1,400 and 1,200 BCE
