Grave of the Vikings

The remarkable 2012 discovery of a Viking tomb in suburban Denmark caught the archaeological world by surprise. Inside the vast underground chamber were a Viking lord's weapons, his gold-encrusted jewelry and even the body of his horse ... but no Viking. The empty grave unlocks the mysteries of the final days of the Age of the Vikings. From the 8th to 11th century, the Vikings ruled what is now Scandinavia and terrorized Northern Europe. Cutting-edge archaeology reveals how this war-like culture successfully competed with the finest armies of Europe. But a thousand years ago, these fearsome fighters disappeared from history. Now, a remarkable discovery in Denmark may finally explain what defeated this seemingly invincible nation. New revelations uncover the shocking force that caused the Viking Age to collapse and what made Viking corpses disappear from their tombs. Follow a team of archaeologists as they excavate a fascinating burial site, use state-of-the-art X-ray technology to analyze their findings, and examine the life of an elite warrior.
