For Millenia, these mysteries have remained hidden: murders, hangings, ritual sacrifice from an era long ago, by people much like us. And as more human remains are discovered, most dating back thousands of years, modern day archaeologists continue to piece together clues to what life was like before written records. Through ancient tales, modern science, and the current guardians of these bodies, Ancient Bodies: Secrets Revealed pieces together an understanding of who these people were and how they died and remained preserved for us to learn from today.
