Secrets of Southend's 'King of Bling' revealed
A royal burial site found between a pub and Aldi supermarket has been hailed as the UK's answer to Tutankhamun's tomb.
Archaeologists said golden foil crosses found inside suggested the grave belonged to an early Christian.Image copyrightAmong them was a lyre and a 1,400-year-old box thought to be the only surviving example of painted Anglo-Saxon woodwork in Britain. The valuable collection, and presence of artefacts from other kingdoms, earned the grave's unknown occupant the nicknames Prince of Prittlewell and the King of Bling.But carbon dating on fragments of tooth enamel has indicated the man inside died at least 11 years before the king met his end.
