The ministry said the newly found burial sites include two unpolluted graves and remains of 14 people.
The Aidonia area, the site of the discovery of these two ancient tombs, is famous for being home to many ancient tombs. However, most of these were looted before.
Excavation at the Aidonia site began in the late 70s of the last century. The cemetery with these tombs from 1700 to 1100 BC was pillaged before, possibly in 1976-1977.
During excavations, archaeologists still found many jewels buried with the deceased. Some antique jewelry that appeared at a New York (USA) auction in 1993 was confirmed to have originated from this ancient burial site and was returned to Greece.
