Syrian archaeologists have unearthed two Bronze-era cemeteries dating from the 18th century B.C., the third set of ancient graveyards found in less than a month, the head of the Archaeological Department said Tuesday. Mahmoud Hamoud said the circular limestone cemeteries that were discovered Monday in the village of Heina, south of the capital Damascus, contained skeletons of both adults and children, more than 120 pieces of pottery, jars and precious stones... Last month, Syrian media reported the discovery of a Roman-era cross-shaped limestone cemetery in the Nasiriya area in the remote Hasaka province... dating from the third century... Also last month, an older cemetery from the second century was discovered in the famed ruins of Palmyra...

Is there a nice gravestone awaiting President Assad anywhere nearby?

I don’t think there’ll be enough of him left to bury.
