Archaeologists filming a new television show in the United Kingdom recently discovered a shocking 2,000-year-old murder mystery. They found the face-down skeleton of a teenage girl who was likely the victim of a human sacrifice. This isn’t just a regular archaeological discovery. It’s a genuinely disturbing find that raises some serious questions about life and death in Iron Age Britain.
According to Fox News, the stunning find happened during the digging of a 2,000-year-old Iron Age settlement in Dorset. The dig was part of filming for a new Channel 4 series, “Sandi Toksvig’s Hidden Wonders.” Host Sandi Toksvig, who actually studied archaeology at the University of Cambridge, joined the team on site. The settlement itself belonged to the Durotriges, a tribe that lived in rural Dorset before the Roman conquest took over.
