In 2008, a group of construction workers laying wires for a nearby school in Saaremaa accidently unearthed the first of two Viking-era ships, containing human bones and abundant amounts of grave goods. Soon, the eyes of the international research community were on them. Who are these people in the graves? Who buried them? And what happened there 1300 years ago? Archaeologists have been looking for answers to these questions for the last 13 years. With access to leading archaeologists and dramatic reconstructions, Salme: Ancient Viking Burial Ships reveals the mystery behind these two rediscovered ships, which could transform our understanding of Viking-Era Europe.
