Admit it, you've came here because you just watched the movie on Netflix

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 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.

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

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

It is amazing that grave robbers never found the treasure.

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.

I wanted to watch this for fun! I’m only 11 and I think this is amazing

You know, if it wasn’t for a movie on Netflix of all things, I would’ve never known about this. Guess it does come in handy once in a while.

The voice of the wearer would echo from within and the facial decor was designed to intimidate which proves that the creator of the character “darthvador” was probably a history student.

Largest viking city in Denmark was Aros, nowadays Aarhus, which was the center of viking world in scandinavia from year 700. All items found in the old city of Aros, have signs that resemblence, with the finds in this grave in Suttern Hoo, southern England, which was danish territory(danelaw), during some of the viking age. So Aglo saxon is maybe right, but the center of the viking kings were not nothern germany or southern denmark, but at the capital of Aros, situated right in the center of the country.

Yes, The Dig was a nice movie

Who came here after watching The Dig on Netflix?

I'm guessing a lot of us (Americans) are going to start taking an interest in our English ancestry and local cultures.

Thankfully, Sutton Hoo did not fall prey to treasure pirates over the centuries.  Since it was within the boundaries of a private estate, wealthy landowners acted as unwitting caretakers of antiquity.

Thank you to 'The Dig' for bringing this fascinating piece of history to our attention!

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

I saw the Sutton Hoo treasures at the British Museum before I saw the film.
