Hello and welcome to a very exciting episode of Mysteries of Science.

I'm Stevie, Assistant Editor of Science in Nature, the Mootley magazine from the team behind the Week Junior.

And I'm Dan, the editor.

If you're new to the podcast, welcome.

In each episode, we dive deep into one of my favourite parts of the magazine, Mysteries of Science.

We look at the stories that have left scientists scratching their

heads and despite their best attempts remain well and truly unsolved. So this episode, we're going

to try and cover the truth behind one of my all-time favorite mysteries, Sutton Who,

which is home to one of the Europe's biggest archaeological finds and the story has a

supernatural twist. Dan, can you tell us who or what is Sutton Who? So just outside the town

of Woodbridge in Suffolk, that's in the east of England, there lies this field with many

mysterious mounds and in the early 19th century,

nobody knew exactly how old these mounds were,

and people were wondering what might be buried inside them.

The place is full of mysteries.

When they excavated the mounds in the early 20th century,

a huge treasure trove was found hidden inside the remains of a whole ship.

There were gold coins, jewelry, weapons, an amazing helmet and a scepter. These priceless

artifacts were buried in what looked like a grave and must have belonged to a really important

person, but there was no sign of a person inside and no skeleton has ever been found.

And the mysteries get even deeper.

The person who dug up the mounds was led to the correct place by spooky visions of ancient warrior ghosts.
