A cache containing the burial insignia of Lithuanian and Polish monarchs, hidden since the onset of World War II, has been found under Vilnius Cathedral. The treasures include three crowns and other royal regalia. The search for these hidden artifacts lasted nearly 90 years, and the cache was found and opened on December 16. The burial insignia are priceless historical treasures and symbols of Lithuanian statehood. Efforts to locate the treasures intensified over the years, and non-invasive research methods were used. The discovered items will undergo restoration and be exhibited to the public.
