Curator Dr Martin Goldberg joins Vikings writer and producer Michael Hirst to delve into the mysteries of the Galloway Hoard. Chairing the discussion is special correspondent for BBC News, James Naughtie.
Buried at the beginning of the 10th century in Dumfries and Galloway, the Hoard lay undisturbed for a thousand years before being unearthed by a metal detectorist in September 2014. This incredible discovery brings together the richest collection of rare and unique Viking-age objects ever found in Britain or Ireland.

I raise my hat to the metal detectorists who discovered and didn't touch it, but reported it.Thus saving it for the nation.

Thrilling presentation, particularly as the hoard was so meticulously presented and the details could be seen clearly. Kudos to all involved.

Superbly presented and enticingly informative broadcast combining disciplines of history, intelligence, creativity and science. Hope to see it myself one fine (masked) day! All parties need to give themselves a hug (because I am an American ..) and raise a glass to the sensitive success of their various disciplines as this unique discovery unveils answers, questions and beguiling clues to its appearance in Galloway and under that particular gentleman's detector!

Hirst overexaggerates his importance in introducing the Vikings to the public as humans. Magnus Magnusson did a great job of that around 1980. Hirst may be renewing popular interest, employing the standbys of sex and violence, but he is not the vanguard. I love history; but I am wary of fascination with Viking religion and its darkness.

All thanks to the hobby of Metal Detecting. Changing the Worlds understanding of the past. If only Ireland would change their stupid laws on this hobby....

Interesting find to say the least. I'll speculate on the reason behind the burial of the hoard. They are a product of metalsmiths of course and a merchants collection from a variety of sources.Treasured because this was a life's work buried because there was no other way to express gratitude to the objects than to dedicate them to the earth our mother and home.

I love the Vikings show but im curious that most of the costumes that was used shows that the Vikings used leather armor instead of chainmails and cloths, i mean leather armors was never used by real Vikings during that time. im guessing that it was used for cinematic purpose.

I speculate that it was assembled by a family. Say siblings from a metal smiths family. The rich stone strikes me as the veneration of a family businesses founder. It’s especially interesting if we considering it as an offering or ceremonial act rather than as a stash of valuables. The hidden layer I think suggests that. As well as the wrapping of objects or groups of objects. I’m learning a lot from these lectures. Thanks everyone 🌵☀️🏄‍♂️🌊

About 20 years ago PBS did a series called civilizations. One if the civilizations was Vikings (the Greeks was also really good) check it out, it covers a lot of the same ground but with slightly different emphasizes. Like the ships 🌵☀️🌊🏄‍♂️
