Police have recovered a collection of valuable funerary treasures from an underground tomb in Umbria, Italy, valued at over 8 million euros. The tomb was illegally excavated, and authorities used a combination of wiretaps, drone surveillance, and historical detective work to track down the looters. The collection includes eight urns, two sarcophagi, and beauty accessories, as well as a phial of perfume containing a 2,000-year-old scent.
Experts believe this is one of the most important seizures of Etruscan artefacts ever made by investigators.
