Vikings: The Ghost Ships of Saaremaa

In this episode of Forbidden History, we are joined by battlefield archaeologist Tim Sutherland, who investigates one of the most extraordinary Viking discoveries ever made. A specialist in conflict archaeology and the forensic analysis of mass graves, Tim has spent decades uncovering the physical evidence of warfare left behind in the soil. Now he travels to the remote shores of Estonia, where two ancient ship burials are rewriting everything we thought we knew about Viking culture.
