Prehistoric Greenland

What can a frozen island reveal about the people who thrived there for thousands of years? Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr. Asta Mønsted to explore prehistoric Greenland through astonishing archaeology and living mythology, from permafrost-preserved homes, tools, and clothing to whale hunts, shamanic stories, and the world of the Thule Inuit. Along the way, they uncover how families survived the Arctic, honoured spirits, and built a rich culture in one of Earth’s harshest places.MOREIce Age AmericaListen on AppleListen on SpotifyOrigins of the InuitListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Tristan Hughes.
