While Excavating A Royal Grave In Germany, Archaeologists Uncovered A Massive Bronze Age Structure Once Used By An Ancient King Known For Being Buried In A Solid Gold Coffin

After conducting further investigation into the hall, it was revealed that the walls of the building were made using wooden planks and finished with clay plaster.

Straw or thatch had been woven into the roof. Within the hall, a grand fireplace in a central location and a miniature vessel possibly used for the purposes of rituals were also found.

The structure sits near a huge burial mound that was first discovered by construction workers in 1899. The mound is 209 feet in diameter, and it is believed that King Hinz was laid to rest there in that very spot.
