You Wouldn't Want to Live Without Dirt! (You Wouldn't Want to Live Without…)

It's hard to imagine what life would be like today without the discoveries and natural processes that we take for granted, from the humble vegetable to the big bang theory. Combining history with science, this series explains how natural phenomena have transformed our world.

Dirt: Waterlogged soil preserves anything buried in it. Tollund Man, a body found in a bog in Denmark, looks as if he is sleeping, when in fact he died 2,300 years ago.
