Ancient Bodies: Secrets Revealed

British documentary series following the work of experts who are using cutting-edge technology to explore some of the world's greatest ancient mysteries and put forward new theories and interpretations.

In 1950, farmers in Jutland, an area of central Denmark, stumbled across two bodies in a bog with blackened skin and flame-red hair, preserved in a form of natural mummification. For decades, these preserved ancient people have baffled archaeologists. However, cutting-edge forensic science now allows a 2,000-year-old murder mystery to be unlocked. Using revolutionary new methods, a team of scientists assembled from across the world unearths a shocking story of vengeful gods, dark water and human sacrifice.

Over Britain's tens of thousands of years of civilization, its history has played host to a series of strange and mysterious rituals, events, and cultures. British talk show host Clive Anderson and anthropologist Mary-Ann Ochota travel across the U.K. to explore the sacred sites and supernatural beliefs of the ancient Britons. By examining their mystic places and practices, they hope to unlock the secrets of their ancestors and better understand the worlds in which they lived.
