Archaeologists from the University of Leicester lift the lid on a stone coffin found at the Greyfriars dig site in this handout photo by the university released July 29, 2013. Archaeologists have discovered the mysterious coffin-within-a-coffin from the same Leicester car park where England's King Richard III was famously buried for 500 years. Experts returned to the site of the former Grey Friars Church at the beginning of July to learn more about the area, only to find a full intact stone casket with a lead coffin inside.
