| In one room there's a shiny gold bull from the tomb of a nomadic chief. |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| It's hard to believe that it is more than 4,000 years old. |
play_circle

|
| It is unusual because there is a hole in its back. |
play_circle

|
| When the archaeologists opened the tomb they found four bulls |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| There was a silver rod in the back of each bull. |

| The rods held a canopy over the body of the chief. |
