Extraordinary discoveries of skeletons found in mass graves of warriors are bringing back to life the world's most legendary fighting men. In this series, expert examination of their battle scars, bone deformations and teeth enamel shows who they were and how they lived, fought and died. CGI and dramatic reconstructions propel their brutal existence into dazzling filmic recreations. The unearthing of a gruesome grave filled with thousands of skeletons at Kamakura in Japan could be about to unlock the mystery surrounding the true origins of one of the most feared and revered warriors of all time: the Samurai. The chilling burial ground dates back to 1333. Kamakura was one of the most heavily fortified regions of Japan.
