In 1990, during the height of the First Gulf War, workers in Jerusalem accidentally uncovered an ancient 1st-century tomb. Inside lay the limestone ossuary (bone box) of High Priest Joseph Caiaphas—the man known to history as the mastermind behind the arrest and trial of Jesus. Years later, an astonishing detail re-emerged: buried alongside Caiaphas were two bent Roman iron nails. Were these simple construction items, ancient amulets, or authentic relics from the Crucifixion?

For the last hundred years, the development of modern mankind was primarily explained through the so-called Out of Africa theory, claiming that the development of humans and apes happened primarily in Africa. But in recent years bone finds, much older than the earliest finds from Africa, have challenged that belief. 7.2-million-year-old remains of a prehistoric human, Graecopithecus freybergi, and 6-million-year-old human-like footprints were found in Greece and presented in 2017. In November 2019 paleontologist Madelaine Böhme revealed to the world fossils of a newly discovered 11.6-million-year-old ancient ape, found in a clay pit in Southern Germany. The scientists argue that this new species called Danuvius guggenmosi, or “Udo”, is a common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees – a missing link sought after for decades by scientists all over the world. Together, these fossil finds challenge the fundamental idea of human evolution that two-legged walking only evolved in Africa much later. Is the birthplace of humanity actually located in Europe?

Richborough was one of the longest Roman-occupied sites in Britain, with history stretching from the Claudian invasion of Britain in 43 AD to the Roman departure almost 4 centuries later. During its long history Richborough transformed on several occasions. From military base to prosperous port town, from supply base to Saxon shore fort. And the archaeology left behind is testament to Richborough's importance in Roman times. English Heritage's Andrew Roberts takes Tristan Hughes on a tour of Richborough's Roman remains, talking through the site's long and complex history.
