Hochdorf Chieftain's Grave

So, long long ago, there was a person who was very important in a place called Hochdorf. He was so important that he was called a chieftain. When this chieftain died, his family and friends built a big fancy grave for him so they could remember him and honor him.

This grave was really big and made out of wood and bronze. It looked like a big house that was very colorful and had pictures on it. Inside the grave, there were many gifts for the chieftain to take with him to the afterlife. There were lots of fancy things made out of gold and silver, like jewelry and cups.

Years and years went by, and the chieftain and his fancy grave were forgotten about. But then, in the 1960s, some people found this grave and they were very excited! They carefully dug up all the treasure inside and learned a lot about the chieftain and his people.

Now, the Hochdorf chieftain's grave is very famous and people can visit it in a museum to learn about this very important person from a long, long time ago.
