UKTV – Viking Dead (2018) Part 4: The Secret Viking Grave of Ridgeway Hill
English | Documentary | Size: 1.26 GB
Welcome to a world of secret graves, mysterious death ships, newly-discovered skeletons, missing fortresses, and lost Long Ships. In this series, leading archaeologist Tim Sutherland travels to Scandinavia, Estonia, Britain and beyond to get new insights into the world of those they called the North Men – The Vikings. Sutherland follows the trail of the Vikings and tries to solve many of the legendary mysteries surrounding the warriors from the north. He is investigating gruesome raids such as the one on Lindisfarne in 793 AD and discovering ship graves off Estonia that reveal violent warrior burials.
From around 700AD to the Norman conquest of England in 1066, the Vikings of the Nordic lands raided and traded across northern, central, eastern and western Europe to create a feared and notorious empire. Now, almost two millennia after their often-terrifying reign, Yesterday uses the modern age to uncover secrets from the Viking Age. By investigating burial sites, The Viking Dead asks who the Norsemen really were, what the truth was about the raids and battles, and what every-day life in a Viking settlement entailed.

Part 4: The Secret Viking Grave of Ridgeway Hill
A quarry full of decapitated skeletons, evidence of a mass execution. But who were the 54 dead? How did 54 Viking raiders meet their gruesome end here in the south of England? Archaeologists date the grave to around 1000 AD and want to prove that the victims were young Vikings who died violently. The English did not warmly welcome their Viking visitors. Conflict appears to have been common. There is dramatic evidence for this at several places in southern England, especially at a site called Ridgeway near Weymouth, Dorset. In the early Middle Ages, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings fought for control of the British Isles. The Scandinavians carried out raids and attacks more and more frequently. But soon that was not enough for them: they wanted power over the island. In the 9th century, the Vikings came to Britain heavily armed and spread fear and terror there. In order to conquer the island, large armies were assembled in Norway and Denmark. Investigations show that the dead in the mass grave were not locals, but almost certainly came from Scandinavia. Scientists believe that it was a group of raiders who encountered a superior Anglo-Saxon force. The Vikings were captured, executed and then taken to the quarry.
