He is the first person to hold that little jar in 2000 years, a human just like us made that little thing and sat back in his/someone else's workshop and was satisfied they did a good job... it just shoves me right to that place where I can see it, I can feel what it was like and how they must've felt all those centuries ago.

    This is such a great program, I love Tony’s enthusiasm. I like how they recreated the different burial techniques used over time. Like other programs it makes the program so much more interesting, like when they demonstrated how a Roman snake bracelet was made or how they smelted iron. It must be amazing to live in a country that has been occupied over thousands of years with every age of people leaving their mark.

    Random thought about the bronze age body position... it does require much less digging to make the grave if you put the body in like they did; besides the symbolism mentioned this could be a very practical reason: digging a deep hole with bronze age tools might have taken quite some time? Also given the fact that people don't (always) die when the weather is great for digging too, they might have used it to make the task of grave digging as simple as possible? Has some professional thoughts about that theory?

    I'm not saying that their thoughts on why they buried people in that curled position aren't perfectly valid and possibly true too but what about how difficult it was just to dig a hole that size with their tools. Maybe it was somewhat practicality before the body began to stink to bad.
