Sutton Hoo

An archaeologist, in 1939, was investigating a site in Suffolk -west of England-,  he found an Anglo Saxon ship burial and is one of the most magnificent archaeological finds in England.
Why there is a ship-burial? Because in Saxon times it was believed that someone important (kings, princes, or a brave warrior) needed all his belongings for his ''new life'' in the ''next world''.

The ship-burial commands the attention from the tourist but the most significant artefacts from the  displayed in the British Museum.
