Crime Scene: Antiquity

Nothing lets us look deeper into the dark abyss of a past epoch than the murders and misdeeds committed during it. But many crimes of the past remain unsolved today. The perpetrators were not identified or punished, and evidence hasn’t been presented against them — until now. This documentary series shows how science uses modern forensic methods to solve crimes that happened thousands of years ago.

Conspiracy and Revenge

This episode deals with the murder of the world-famous glacier mummy Ötzi, the conspiracy against the Macedonian King Philip II and the assassination of the later first emperor of China. The search for the perpetrators also provides answers to the crime: What were the last hours of Ötzi's life like? Was the murder of Philip II really just the act of a jealous lone perpetrator? Did the assassination attempt on the Chinese king really happen as the court chronicles report?
