Dorset Viking Massacre

On Ridgeway Hill in the County of Dorset, a mass burial was found with the
remains of 54 males. These individuals had all been executed in a gruesome
manner with their decapitated heads dumped together in a large pit.
Interestingly enough all of the sharp blade wounds had been struck from the
front, meaning these individuals had faced their enemy. Radiocarbon dating
showed the bodies were from 890-1030 AD. Strontium isotopes found in the bones
show these individuals were originally from Scandinavia.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which had been written around 890 AD, provides a
year-by-year account of all the major happenings in Anlgo Saxon England.
Aethelred the Unready had been king from 978-1016 AD - it is quite possible
these bodies died during his reign. Initially the king had paid Viking raiders
off with over 10,000 pounds to stop raiding their lands. Later they began hiring
Norse mercenaries to fight off the invading Vikings - however these mercenaries
would switch sides frequently and proved too risky.

Ötzi the Iceman

In 1991, hikers discovered the mummified remains of a man who died 5300
years ago in the Alps with an arrow stuck through his shoulder. His genetics
show great affinity to modern Sardinia and it is thought if you have ancestors
stem from the region between Sardinia and the Alps, there is a chance you could
be related to Ötzi. Found in the Ötztal Alps between Italy and
Austria, he was given the nickname Ötzi and represents Europe's oldest known
natural mummy.
He is believed to have been murdered as the arrowhead in his left shoulder
was a fatal wound. He had brown eyes, O-type blood, was lactose intolerant and
probably had Lyme disease. Analysis of his colon showed Ötzi's
second-to-last meal included ibex meat, cereals and plants. His last meal
included red deer meat, grasses and cereals. He had a gap in his smile, lacked
wisdom teeth and also had a fairly rare condition where he lacked the smallest
ribs on either side.

Thuringian Princess of Hassleben

An ancient cemetery was discovered in Hassleben Thuringia which remained
the richest ancient grave found in Germany for almost a hundred years. Not only
was the oldest written Germanic word ever discovered etched onto a comb, but
hundreds of Roman coins, ceramic fragments and Roman-style brooches were also
discovered. This is no accident as much of our knowledge regarding Thuringia and
broader Germania comes from the Roman historian Tacitus. The Elbe Germanic
tribes who moved into this region were allies of the Romans who were trading
partners, a buffer to the neighbouring Chatti - sworn enemies of Rome, as well
as specialised in metalworking of iron and precious metals.
Here you can see the richly outfitted grave of the Princess of Hassleben
which demonstrates the influential noble class who had a very close relationship
with the Romans. She was a young woman buried with a choker, golden fibulae, a
ring, a collier of roman glass beads, roman coins, pottery plates and vessels.
In her mouth was a Roman gold coin - known as Charons obol - which would provide
payment to Charon the ferryman to allow her soul to reach the world of the dead.
Next to her remains lay the skeleton of a small dog - possibly her personal pet.
