[MR] BBC: Beheaded Bodies Were Elite Vikings

[Glynis Knibb (Glynis Gwynedd)]

I believe this is the same site that was featured in National
Geographic's "Viking Apocalypse" show that aired a week or two ago. It
was pretty interesting but at the time of production of that show they
still hadn't quite figured out -who- was buried there, or why. I'm
glad to have gotten an update on it. Thanks! :)

mutants, those possessed or hearing "the voices," those seeking
government surplus or inferior quality, chronic complainers, the
illiterate, former spouses, and the IRS." C. Rake 1995
