Some objects in a trove of Persian, Sumerian, Assyrian and other
antiquities found last year in a truck could be from as early as 900
B.C., and the whole collection may be worth up to $690,000, Hungarian
police said on February 8, Associated Press reported.
Bronze artifacts, including a helmet,
small bells and horse tack, were likely from the grave of a high-ranking
military officer from Urartu, also called the Kingdom of Van,
corresponding mostly to parts of modern Armenia and Turkey, the
Bacs-Kiskun County police department said in a statement.(*)
