Archaeologists at the University of Bradford appeared in a new Sky History Channel series this week.
Cursed Treasures called upon the professors’ expertise to discuss the fascinating discoveries of some of the world’s oldest mummies.
Professor Andrew Wilson, Chair of Archaeological and Forensic Science and Professor Karina Croucher delved into 5,300-year-old mummy Ötzi.
The mummy was found by two German tourists in 1991 in a glacier in the Italian Alps.
They also explored the famous Easter Island statues and frozen child mummies unearthed on Mount Llullaillaco, near the Chilean border, in 1999.
The documentary crew asked about Lindow Man - an Iron Age preserved 'Bog Body' discovered in Cheshire in the 1980s as well as mistold narratives of these famous digs.
