Crime is as old as humanity itself. And yet, some crimes continue to fascinate us to this day – often because they remain unsolved. Criss-crossing the globe, Crime Scene: Antiquity explores atrocities from across the centuries, including ones that changed the course of history. From the mysterious death of a young Egyptian pharaoh to the murder of an infamous glacier mummy, and the sinister massacre in a Swedish castle, the perpetrators of these historical misdeeds have remained unknown. Until now.
With the use of modern forensics and experimental archaeological methods, a team of experts, including profilers, weapons experts, geneticists, and historians, aim to solve these ancient cases and identify the perpetrators.
