The Unexplained with William Shatner: Mysterious Tombs (Media Coverage)
Publication: History Channel
Date: 5/13/2022
Abstract: Episode of The Unexplained with William Shatner on the History Channel highlighted the work to virtually unwrap the Herculaneum papyri.
"Throughout history humans have buried their dead--in caves or chambers, in pyramids or in some form of a tomb--but why? Ancient tombs were visual memorials for the dead. In China, a vast necropolis was constructed as a way to connect to the afterlife. Is there an inherit need for us to dig up our past? What is it that we are searching for? And what profound secrets might remain hidden in tombs? That is what we will try to find out."
