UKTV – Viking Dead (2018) Part 5: Mysteries of the Oseberg
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 5: Mysteries of the Oseberg
It is one of the most fascinating finds from the Viking Age. Archaeologists discovered a well-preserved Viking ship in a burial mound in Norway. Inside: two female skeletons. The ship and its treasures are remarkable. But what can be said about the identity of the dead? Were they a Queen and her daughter? Archaeologist Tim Sutherland is investigating this question and wants to find out whether the two women may have been victims of a bizarre ritual. Does the evidence point to a ritual sacrifice or a high-status funeral? The Vikings practiced various rituals in their time. Apparently, this also included a sacrificial cult in which not only animals but also people were sacrificed. The two dead women, however, pose more of a mystery. In addition to the skeletons, a variety of luxury goods were found in the grave, such as a fine red wool dress, a white linen veil and silk. DNA analysis shows that the older woman suffered from an illness that made her appear more masculine – perhaps she had a beard. A wooden carving on the ship depicts a woman with a beard – supposedly the image of a queen. Were two women from a high social class buried on the ship? How can their bones help Tim piece together the story? It’s over to Tim to sift through the evidence and find out.
