Yet it was only 70 years ago that an amateur archaeologist discovered that the mysterious mounds were the burial ground of some of the most powerful Saxon kings. The priceless treasures from the site are now in the British museum, so Ben uses the octocopter to try to solve the mystery of how this incredibly important site was lost for over a thousand years. The aerial investigation reveals a story of grand boat burials and mythical symbolism, while Bettany discovers the surprising role music and poetry played in the survival of the richest grave ever found in Britain.
