  • Those people making these shows [Time Team & History C. C.] have created an amazing enthralling episodic scientific that WE CAN NOT TURN OFF!!! I hope it is still on.
  • @susancurrie2627
    This is a truly fascinating series! Forensics done on bones from centuries and even millennia ago. The process of discovery is so intriguing. The piecing together of the lives of these individuals is too. I would recommend this series to any science nerd. One like me!
  • @llchapman1234
    I do wish these videos were captioned. And that there were more of them. What a great series!
  • @janelightning73
    Examination of ancient bones always leaves me with a strong sense of sadness...so many unanswered questions.
  • @K8E666
    Absolutely fascinating ! I love history and archeology and I really enjoyed this series. I know Sue didn’t like the set-up and felt that it wasn’t organic enough but I think (listening to her interviews) she was very surprised at how much we as an audience loved it..
  • I love this show. I wish there was more information on the beliefs from that time. The man whose skull was reconstructed may have been seen as saving his community.
  • @jblakeblake5115
    I would prefer the names of these ladies in this team to be more apparent in the film. I have seen this lady before and have the utmost respect for her speech on child abuse.
  • @Jesterjones9073
    I really wish there was another series of this, the English version. Such an amazing programme.
  • @mikeashley9578
    For those griping about commercials every 5-10 minutes, watching from Korea, I have Korean "commercials" come up with some being 10-30 minutes long. Needless to say, I hit "skip ads."
  • @jpdj2715
    "Actual face" - there are so many choices that were made without DNA that not much can be considered "actual". But it helps to tell the story and its tragedy.
  • @gregtaylor9331
    I wonder what else could be discovered from the debris at the bottom of the cave: What artifacts might the owners of the bodies had on their persons?
  • @Nyctophora
    Thank you for sharing! I love archaeology.
  • Wow these people are awesome in what they do thank you for the respect you guys show them may they rest in peace awesome jobs bless you guys abundantly
  • it's amazing how these skeletal remains in mass graves .I've always wondered how they know whose bones belong to who I love history and this series is so catching from start to finish thankyou
  • @vickijoseph2731
    Really enjoyed this. So informative and they did such great work!
  • @alexlao5531
    Without equipment to hoist yourself up, without light to look for a way out, it does become a burial hole. A final resting place.
  • @luminatez1783
    My first thought was, if the family was thought to have a disease, a plague of some sort...perhaps the village decided the infected family had to be killed. Going out of your way to take all the bodies any distance to toss down a very deep hole would make sense. The trauma could easily be from the males fighting back. Plus the additional trauma from being dropped into the cave.
  • The hot air from the cave might have been a draw on the cold Yorkshire moors. It’s quite possible some may have decided to live or at least winter there. One family member goes venturing and disappears others go looking for them and also also disappear. As someone said earlier the four deaths could have happened over a couple of hundred years. Random people wandering through the caves and following into the same trap.
