Extraordinary discoveries of skeletons found in the mass graves of warriors are bringing back to life the world's most legendary fighting men. In Back from the Dead they come under cutting-edge forensic investigation. Expert examination of their battle scars, bone deformations and teeth enamel shows who they were and how they lived, fought and died. Excavations along the Israel/Jordan border are unearthing skeletons and rewriting the history of the First Crusade. The site at Jacob's Ford is the only known Crusader battle site with complete skeletons. The programme has secured access to the excavation and remains of some of the 80 Crusader Knights and 750 foot soldiers stationed at the fort when it was attacked and its Crusaders massacred by Saladin's army in 1179, in the battle that changed the course of history in the Middle East
