According to a statement published on social media by the Canton of Graubünden, a mysterious bamboo waggon has recently been discovered at a section of melted glacier in the Alps.
The wagon was found by Sergio Veri who was hiking in the area of the Splügen Pass, an Alpine mountain pass that connects the Swiss Hinterrhein valley and Splügen in the canton of Graubünden with the Valle San Giacomo and Chiavenna in the Italian province of Sondrio.
Documentary evidence suggests that the Splügen Pass has been used since antiquity, where it was possibly known as the Cunus Aureus, as shown on the Tabula Peutingeriana, a map prepared by Agrippa during the reign of the emperor Augustus (27 BC to AD 14).
