Interesting. What's the name of that documentary if I may ask? I'd like to watch it if anyway possible. Understand enough Danish to watch it, not enough to search for the name 😬

Thanks a lot 😘 I'm sure I'll be able to play it.

This article debunks the claim that Denmark made a profit from the excavations. I have no idea about what the truth is. 🤷‍♂️

I agree it does not sound good if they discarded experts with inconvenient view points. -But i do think that point of view was represented. Regardless i learned something new from the doc, so i enjoyed it.

I just wish it had come out a long time ago, and not right in an election. It is not a time for nuance.
