Rhoda and the Rooster of Pazyryk (Part 2) - Ep 40

In part two, Tilly and Ash continue their mission with Rhoda, artefact conservator and tattoo artist, to help the Hamunaptra Revitalisation Society bring back personhood into their reanimated - and potentially tattooed - mummies! In this episode, the team looks at the tools and techniques for uncovering ancient tattoos and asks why would someone tattoo a rooster on their thumb?

Rhoda Fromme and the Rooster of Pazyryk (Part 1) - Ep 39
