This is an amazing documentary about a female Shaman from the Neolithic. Recent DNA analysis & other modern techniques have revealed some fascinating insights about this little-known period of pre-history.

I watched that too and it was really interesting, interesting enough to make me want to look into it more deeply and it made me argue out loud with the telly. I wanted to know where they got the idea from that mesolithic people just left thier dead behind on the ground or hung them from trees? As far as I know nobody knows what prehistoric people did with most of thier dead, we only see a tiny sample of those who once lived. Even with historic people we often don't know why people were treated differently in death, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't an element of choice in it?

I also shouted at the telly when they said that for thousands of years people followed shamanism and believed n the spirits because they didn't know about bacteria and virus's. I thought yes people have had shamans and shamanic practices for thousands of years, but you're the odd ones for not believiing in spirits and belief in spirits has nothing to do with virus's or bacteria!
