That looks like it's in amazing quality!
I recently visited the tombs of Philip II in Vergina, and the photos don't do it justice. The amazing part is you can walk around inside the burial mound and see the excavation sites and discovered artifacts. I tried getting photos, but it's so dark that none of them came out. But the intricate paintings and engravings, especially the gold, is something worth seeing if you can.
