14 DAY TRIAL // Last week, archaeologists announced the discovery of a stunning floor mosaic in the antechamber of an Alexander the Great-era tomb in Greece.
Shortly after, the news broke that, while further exploring this tomb, researchers also came across two gorgeous female sculptures, one of which is pictured next to this article.
It is understood the sculptures were found between two marble pillars. The two women are depicted wearing a tunic and earrings, and they both have fairly long hair.
The bad news is that, by the looks of it, just one of these sculptures is what archaeologists call well preserved. The other one no longer has a face, Discovery News tells us.
Rumor has it this sculpture lost its face after seeing a certain celebrity twerking at the VMAs and desperately tried to rip out its own eyes. Still, researchers are to confirm that this is indeed what happened.
By the looks of it, the two sculptures were placed between the two marble pillars to guard the entrance to the tomb. Thus, they have one of their arms outstretched as if trying to stop people from going any further.
Researcher Andrew Chugg suspects that this tomb was built to accommodate for the lifeless body of Alexander the Great's mother. It's still unclear whether or not Olympia was actually buried in this location.
