He made an important archaeological discovery in Erimi, near Limassol of Cyprus, scientific mission of the University of Siena. More specifically, he managed to bring to light 4,000 year old templewhich had been created in a space where a craftsman’s workshop was located.

As archaeologist Luca Bombardieri told the Italian news agency Ansa, it is “the oldest sacred site that has been discovered, so far in Megalonisos».

Bobardieri is in charge of the excavations, which are being carried out in collaboration with the Antiquities Service of Cyprus and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

As the scientist explained “it is a large room, where a large brazier illuminated, day and night, a large monolith”. It is essentially a “temple created before the temples we usually know” and who shows us “how complex and rich was the life of these people, who were craftsmen and lived four thousand years before us”.

The Italian scientist revealed that “in this latest excavation campaign, the skeleton once girl aged about twenty years, who, as everything shows, was murdered and then the corpse was “built” so that, probably, the crime.

Her killers smashed her skull with a sword or a heavy stone and then placed her on the floor, with a heavy stone on her chest.

No valuables were found in the surrounding area, which means that the usual rite was not observed. It is possible, say the Italian scientists, to be an ancient femicide, which may be connected to “punishment” for the fact that the girl had stayed pregnant.
