An undated handout picture released by the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) in London on May 9, 2019, shows an artist's rendering of the princely burial chamber discovered in Prittlewell, near Southend, southeast England. - Excited archeologists are hailing an ancient burial site found on the side of a road next to a supermarket and a pub as Britain's answer to Egypt's Tutankhamun's tomb. The small bump on a patch of grass in the county of Essex was "unpromising-looking," Museum of London Archaeology's (MOLA) director of research Sophie Jackson said. But in 2003, MOLA workers decided to give it a shot. Years of digging and meticulous scientific analysis have led them to conclude that they had stumbled on an Anglo-Saxon burial chamber of a prince whose likes have not been found anywhere in Britain before.
