Well, it looks like it might be the tomb of a Hunnish notable, but no specific reason to link it with Attila is mentioned.

I see it triggered an ethnic origins row in the comments section :(  Looks like an interesting find though - look forward to more detail.

Hmm...  Some suggestion in the ether that this is a hoax.  Any reports from any major news agencies on the excavation?

No, but this seems to be relevant.

Apparently the image is of a Ming Dynasty period burial - in China.

I suspect the 'Bahamas Sphinx' will turn out to be from rather nearer home, too.
