Archaeologists in Germany have uncovered a 2,600-year-old wooden burial chamber in Riedlingen, one of the best-preserved Celtic graves ever found. The chamber, built with oak timbers, was preserved by groundwater, which protected it from decay. It is part of a large burial mound, indicating the presence of a Celtic elite. The grave was looted in ancient times, and human remains from multiple individuals have been found. This discovery provides valuable insights into early Celtic burial practices.
