The new Netflix film "The Dig" highlights the discovery of the famous Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo boat burial, and its magnificent helmet! It's a beautiful movie, but is there more to this find than we thought?

An exciting theory about this helmet suggests it was once worn as a mask of the Germanic and Norse god Odin (aka Ian McShane. Love American Gods!). What is the evidence for this amazing idea? Is there more to this than meets the eye? There's a pun there, but you'll have to watch to video to get it! ;)

I filmed this outside in Edinburgh to get my lockdown exercise, so there's a little wind noise my editing didn't quite get. Apologies in advance!
