Unearth the real story of Sutton Hoo - an expert tour from the National Trust

- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2021
- We’re inviting you behind the scenes at Sutton Hoo, an Anglo-Saxon burial ground in Suffolk that is the focus of the new film "The Dig," out on 29 January on Netflix. Currently the site is only open to local visitors to comply with lockdown restrictions, and Tranmer House, including the holiday apartments, is closed. So we're bringing you this video tour, led by one of our expert archaeologists, Angus Wainwright. You can delve into the history of this haunting 255-acre site, learn how in 1939 the skeleton of its famous ship was excavated, and take a look at the fabulous treasures and gold from the burial chamber. You’ll also get a glimpse into the life of Edith Pretty, the owner of the land, who played a key role in the excavation. Sutton Hoo has been described as Britain's greatest ever archaeological discovery but there's still more to learn about the King who was laid to rest under this mysterious mound.
We protect and care for places so people and nature can thrive. Everyone can get involved, everyone can make a difference. Nature, beauty, history. For everyone, for ever.

I really enjoyed your presentation. It must have been an anxious time for the archaeologists, knowing that war was imminent, and that they had to act quickly enough to extract the artefacts, but carefully enough that they didn’t destroy them. I’m in Australia, so I’ll never get to see the site and the artefacts, but this feeds my hunger for ancient history, and gives me things to study further. So thank you.🙏
It's only a plane ride away Kath!
Back over forty years ago, my husband and I were visiting Britain, and while in London I had hoped to got to the British Museum to see the Sutton Hoo collection. I was dismayed to get there and find it was on tour! Haven’t had the chance since to get there. Live on Canada’s East Coast. Enjoyed this video!
This is a cool tour of Sutton hoo. I’d like to go there one day!
I am here because of the “the dig” and i will not forget BASIL BROWN and EDITH PRETTY for their great discovery and contibutio.
Visiting Sutton Hoo last summer was one of the most exciting experiences I’ve had. It was a special afternoon and I often think about those people and their skill and strength, which still fills the atmosphere there.
That's really good to know
Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me

@Jairo Gerald Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

Thanks for the free tour, very interesting. I hope I can visit England and Sutton Hoo one day.
A fascinating video. I was privileged to visit the first exhibition at the British Museum, and am still amazed at the craftsmanship evident in the items.
Thank you
Epic !!!
Thank you for seeing this amazing site. It is certainly, modernised tad. I wonder what Basil Brown would have thought tooday? Is it not too comersialised?
My family have lived in East Anglia as far back as we can trace. I did a DNA test and I have Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic DNA. I think these people are my ancestors.
Thank you for an immersive tour. I share your huge admiration of the great gold buckle. However I do find it slightly peculiar that you feel the need to make a such a strong distinction between Celtic and Anglo-Saxon craft when looking backwards with modern eyes. It seems obvious that it extends from a common artistic tradition whatever you choose call it.
Absolutely gobsmacked indeed lmfaooo
Marvelous
And now in 2024 Time Team are coming to Sutton Hoo.
The selfless Mrs. Pretty would have been a great queen at the side of Raedwald
She would have just given away the kingdom
I am thinking of sharing this with my Spanish friends and our language exchange group. It would have been nice if it had captions in other languages.
I am confused about the other mounds. Did they only ever excavate the large mound?
Hello Veda Imig, There are believed to be18 mounds in the Anglo Saxon royal burial ground at Sutton Hoo. Basil Brown excavated mounds 2, 3 and 4 in 1938 and found evidence of cremation burials and another ship burial which had been destroyed by earlier treasure-seekers. In 1939 he excavated the great ship burial in mound 1. Since then six more of the burial mounds have been professionally excavated and evidence of cremation burials found. The other mounds are so far unexcavated but surveys suggest these mounds were robbed in antiquity. You can find more about the history of excavations at Sutton Hoo here: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/sutton-hoo/features/history-of-archaeology-at-sutton-hoo
@@nationaltrustcharity Thank you for clarifying this for me!
Strange as I didn't think the saxons built mounds
POV your hear because your school told you... sto- hur- s- st ma- ry-
This is the truth: Sutton Hoo is sjutton (17) högar in west geatish dialect and the ship was built by oak planks from SKEPPLANDA in Westgeatland (search). The geats came to York
to help the anglians who were attacked by the saxons. The geats were often legosoldiers.
😶😯😯
WSC anyone?
Sutton hoo is he?🇬🇧🆘
POV: Ur teacher sent u this
What - or who - is a "local visitor"?
Hello, at the time this video was created, in early 2021, Covid travel restrictions were still in place so only people who lived close to Sutton Hoo were allowed to visit. We're pleased to say that since later that year when restrictions were lifted, the site has been open to everyone.
Hw 😐
I have s book of Beowulf in the original text. The cover features a helm from Sutton Hoo. That is not an accurate depiction, but somehow it is real.
Re-constructions please not rubbish sculptures.
