Bettany Hughes Treasures of the World: Season 4, Episode 7

4 - 7: Hidden Estonia: Land of Fire and Ice

Bettany's journey into Estonia's rich history begins in a lab where archaeology and genetics intersect to reveal a portrait of a prehistoric teen derived from a 10,000-year-old piece of chewed tar. Bettany immerses herself in the traditions of an Orthodox community that maintains ancient pre-Christian beliefs, explores Estonia's underwater heritage, and wraps up the trip with a mystical smoke sauna and a taste of a viper-infused spirit.
