5 Most Mysterious Ancient Tombs

- In the shadows of World War II, on the verdant fields owned by Edith Pretty, lay a pair of unassuming mounds. Pretty, intrigued by local folklore and ancient legends, permitted Basil Brown, a local self-taught archaeologist, to excavate. What he unearthed in 1938 would astound the world.
Brown's spade first struck the remnants of a great ship, its timbers long decayed but leaving a ghostly imprint in the sand. This was no ordinary vessel. It was a royal tomb measuring nearly 90 feet long, the final resting place of an Anglo-Saxon king.
Within its embrace lay a trove of artifacts of such craftsmanship and diversity that they challenged our understanding of the era. There was a lyre, its delicate form hinting at the music that once filled the mead halls; a sword and shield, symbols of power and protection; and a Byzantine silver plate, suggesting a world connected by trade and diplomacy far beyond the shores of England.
Among these treasures, the Sutton Hoo purse lid stood out. Modern historians have hailed it as "one of the most remarkable creations of the early medieval period." Its intricate gold decorations and finely detailed ornamental features speak of a society rich in artistry and sophistication.
This purse lid, along with the iconic Sutton Hoo Helmet, a decorated headpiece believed to have adorned Anglo-Saxon royalty, now reside in the British Museum.
The ship's discovery, alongside two Anglo-Saxon cemeteries dating back to the 6th or 7th century, opened a window into a period previously thought to be a 'dark age' lacking historical context.
Scholars now believe that the individual buried in the ship was immensely important. Redwald, King of the East Angles, is a likely candidate, suggesting that Sutton Hoo was the resting place of a powerful and influential ruler.
The wider implications of the Sutton Hoo ship burial find are profound. They confirm that there was significant Anglo-Saxon activity in Britain during this period. Basil Brown's discovery has completely changed how historians view Europe in the early Middle Ages...
Want this intro to be played during my funeral, for my outro💯💯💯
Straight up 100 percent 🔥
Your opening is very nostalgic to me. I appreciate what you do here on YT. Thaank you❤😄♥️😄♥️😄

It's so good. I just discovered it not long ago. So glad I did. Brilliant work.
Been knew about it but no cap 😅 I realized not too long ago that the aliens and ancient channel were two different channels.
I'm just glad he talks now 🤣🤣
You ever watch the Why Files?
Me too dude dark 5 makes great videos
This guy is amazing! Went to high school and university with together, he was always creating lists and just always knew stuff no-one else did. He knows how to captivate an audience and really spin a story together regardless of the facts! Keep it up my guy.
such an odd thing to lie about 😂
That's awesome man. I'm 49. This content and now that he narrates, is better than almost anything on TV.
Is he the narrator?
Longtime fan...by far the best channels!! Love ur work Dark channels....
Very good video , thank you so much .
First comment sweet! I just wanna say I absolutely love your videos! I've been watching your channels for almost 10 years. Keep up the good work!
Lol you were first till you edited it.
Its the effort that counts lol@@raymondeemon125
That Intro is fire to the mind. So nostalgic. Thanks for another one my Friend's
Top-notch as usual. Awesome!
Been such a huge fan of Dark5 for so long, I love the channels. Keep it up.
This has to be my favorite one so far! Keep up the great work!
I’ve been watching your channel for about 8 years back when you didn’t talk at all on the videos keep up the great work
Me too. When he started narrating, it was a game changer.
I feel like red Queen is really Ezma from the emperors new groove.
Excellent video D5 👍👍
The photo of "The Red Queen" is stunning.
Love these videos thank you
Good voiceovers bro. Keep it up ✌️🇬🇧
I have been subscribed to this channel since 2016, he always has the best videos on unexplained stuff and mysteries.
I love this video. I always forget how grand & magnificent the Sutton Hoo treasure is. These ancient sites just trigger such immense speculation & imagination of how these cultures lived & died.
😎 cool work
Kudos to Edith Pretty and Basil Brown.
Thank you !
I would rather watch 1 episode of Dark 5 than 10 modern day movies. The truth is often stranger than fiction and Hollywood has been creatively bankrupt for decades.
Aww I was hoping to be the first one.
My partner possesses an unassuming mound. It has only been superficially explored due to local conditions.
When he started narrating, he became one of the best channels on UA-cam.
The greater the number of living human beings who, in a positive manner, focus on observing and creating so- called "paranormal" events, the greater the potential for such events to happen at all.
And the more these events are made to happen by deliberate efforts, the more these events will happen.
As such, our understanding of what is "real" will naturally change. The key to this is concentration, happening in a deliberate and organized manner. If the effort is not done with a humble and a positive mindset, it will be much harder to unify the two dimensions. A nd there is, as far as anyone knows, no way to get around this.
The world we have always had has been and always will be the one we create together. The idea is very simple. Its execution not so much. Which side of the effort do you support? I love this channel.
Always a good day when you post something.
Have you done one about the maiori (easter island) yet?
Went to Xi'an mausoleum in China in December 2019. It is absolutely massive, it took me well over an hour to walk around the thing!
I literally just watched the movie “the dig” 2 nights ago … lol
Watching the spot go by the surface of the sun reminds me a neutron traveling through space.
We will never know or understand
We can only guess and many times miss.
❤❤❤❤
Time Team from BBC4 did shows from a real Anthropological point of view on at least the first tomb. Worth looking for it's an interesting topic
Did anyone else hear in their head: "You're all going to die down here" when he mentioned The Red Queen?
No
Is it Chi's tomb that is supposed to have a lower level where his body is that has a "river" of mercury around it or am I getting his mixed up with someone else's?
"Ancient Tombs of the Dead"?
Are any ancient tombs of the living?
Just asking.🤔
No there isn't. Tombs are a large vault, typically an underground one, for Burying the Dead only!!!
@@theill3stgoblinking693 Therefore the wording "Tombs of the Dead" is an oxymoron.🤣
@@adriancazan6957 No, it would be redundant. "Tomb of the living" would be oxymoronic.
@@Ghost2743 you are right.
Yeah the White House. All kinds of the living dead there
I love listening to Dark 5 Radio in the Dark on my own with a couple of beers or a herbal cigarette....
Have you discovered Dark5 radio ?
Is this your real voice?
The Dolman DeSoto looks a lot like New Grange in Ireland.
The dolman doodo is straight up an ancient bomb shelter for the elites.
Not the “sister-wife” 😬😬😬
How they make all that with just their hands ?
At 1:40 I thought a little bug ran across my screen
I think it would be kinda funny if like a group of countries looted by British Museum just attacked museum and took back like everything… but suing them would really be worse
Souvenirs of empire. Keep crying loser.
Yeah, shame on those Brits for unearthing, preserving, and offering to scholarly and public view those relics left in ruins elsewhere.
I mean if preserving is taking it out of the perfect environment it was in not deteriorating for thousands of years possibly and put it on display until it crumbles like most things you take out of an environment specifically designed to preserve something… to preserve it… or ya know let it rot in a storage site and just be held onto… museums are fucking weird and a rather bold human loot stash. Thanks Brits… you’re the best … grave robbers…
@@Caleb1874ya When was the last earthquake in Great Britain?
Did you actually try to shape an infant's skull? Geeze, even in you were joking about that, it's really difficult to take anything you post seriously.
dark 5 lfg
Was Jimenez actually wearing a crop top on that exploration?
I like dark5 for background play as much as the next guy, but these comments are giving bot 😂
Havnt looked but one on the mounds from the southern eastern part of the united states
4:14 Today, Hallicarnassus stands as a significant archaeological location in Bodrum, Turkey. If you want to see what was inside it, you'll have to go to England because *they never give anything back* to any of the countries they plunder such beautiful artifacts from.
Couldn't agree more, the same goes for the first story, all which of which was plundered from locals when the Germans invaded ancient Britain. King Arthur, who beat them in 32 battles would be shifting in his grave, (its history to suit, just as long as its not your own, I guess they their own history is not fashionable enough).
Could use a fact checker…just saying 🙄
The only answer for this video is simply this. "Aliens" lol
"Tombs" 😂 not everything in history is temple or tomb..
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
bullshit, wheres the building?
its not there. epic fail
first
Still talking way too fast. So disappointing because this is one of the best channels. But impossible to watch. When will you wake up and take some speech classes 🤦.
His speech speed is fine. You need listening lessons
The statues from Halicarnassus must be taken from the racists who stole them and returned to Turkey to the Muslims that made them.
If anything give them to the Greeks, the Turks invaded Anatolia within the last 800 years... The previous inhabitants were Greeks, Armenians and Kurds, who were either deported or genocided by the Ottomans, and the Kurds are still being culturally exterminated by the Turkish government 👍
Wow, what a stunning display of...ignorance. Islam wasn't even on the horizon.
Giving those statues to muslims would ensure their destruction, as islam does not allow statues. Remember the giant Buddhas destroyed in the name of a primitive superstition by the Taliban?
return them to the same religion which blew up the thousands of years old giant statues in afghanistan and which used to cut the limbs off greek and roman statues yeah? why so you can do it again?
The word racist now indicates to a listener, parrot idiocy and either immorality or amorality
