I’m amazed by the curiosity and generosity of Mrs. Pretty. What an amazing gift she gave to the world with that discovery. This could have ended very differently.

I've been teaching Beowulf to my students for 30 years. These stories, like Sutton Hoo or the Staffordshire Hoard, never cease to amaze me as they bring that magnificent epic poem into life!

I have just finished watching the Time Team Documentary on yet unfinished Replica Boat from Sutton Hoo. The owner an owner of the estate was not the only woman involved in the excavation. Two women who were studying Photography apparently out there shooting roll afte roll for a few years. These two women's dedicated work over a few years, have made measurements of thye rivets and wood possible. Their detailed incredibly astute photos made the ship building possible! How amazing!

A few facts, a lot of hypothesizing and a million questions. The mystery remains and that's what makes it so captivating.

I wish they had spent more time unveiling and showing these treasures in The Dig.

Basil Brown.... Took the British Museum a very long time before recognizing Basils role in discovering the Sutton Hoo. British Museum who took years before recognizing his role at Sutton Hoo.

Just watched the movie “The Dig” and this further inspired me to look at the marvels discovered there. Amazing.

About half-way through we get stuck on the helmet and never really get back to the rest of the site/findings.

Like Survive the Jive pointed out in his "An Eye for Odin" video, one of the eyes did not have gold plating behind the garnets, making the eye appear darker. This was probably a reference to Woden, who sacrificed his eye to Mimir to drink from his well of wisdom.
