The studies and works to create a visitable museum cover for the extremely rare findings of the Mikri Doxipara-Zoni tumulus in Evros, NE Greece, are progressing quickly, the Ministry of Culture said on Tuesday in an update, ANA reports.

The tumulus is the only one in Greece where wheeled vehicles were found in such a good state. Specifically, it includes the cremated remains of three men and one woman, accompanied by five chariots with their horses, and another two burials of five horses. All accessories on the chariots are preserved, down to the decorative metal parts, while two of them include impressions of their wooden parts. The entire group is dated between 100 AD and 150 AD, during the Roman imperial years in Greece. 

First excavated by Diamantis Triantafyllos two decades ago, the findings of the tomb point out to the community's great wealth and the effort to guarantee a clear social identity, Culture Minister Lina Mendoni noted in a statement.
