Archaeologists in Turkey uncover a 2,400-year-old grave that may belong to an ancient wrestler

Archaeologists excavating near the ancient city of Aspendos in southern Turkey have uncovered a 2,400-year-old grave that may belong to a professional athlete, quite possibly a wrestler. The tomb, a box-style sarcophagus built from stone slabs, was found in a previously unknown cemetery outside the city and is believed to date to between 475 and 300 BCE, placing it firmly within Aspendos's Classical period.
