In SECRETS OF THE DEAD: "Murder at Stonehenge," archeologists and forensic experts dig up ominous information about the strange ancient ruins and what role they might have played in early English culture. Studying a male skeleton discovered at Stonehenge in 1923, scientists determine that the man died not from natural causes -- as was previously believed -- but from intentional beheading. Bone studies, carbon dating, facial reconstruction, analyses of the wound's angle and the skeleton's damaged vertebrae, a study of Roman-style executions, and comparisons with other human remains: These are the tools employed as the researchers attempt to find out who the man was, when he was murdered, and why. Was he a pagan in a newly Christian world? A cattle thief? A ritual sacrifice? Murder at Stonehenge travels 2,000 years back in time to illuminate the beginnings of modern Britain.Secrets of the Dead - Murder at Stonehenge
