Ancient Mysteries, "Secrets of the Romanovs"

The end of World War 1, Russia was in the grip of Revolution. Its Royal family, the Tsars of the Romanov dynasty, were a potent symbol of old Russia. By the summer of 1918, the Romanovs were imprisoned in a house near Ekaterinburg. The counter revolutionaries, known as the White Russians, planned to rescue the Romanovs from their Bolshevik jailers. But when they arrived the house was empty. The Royal family had disappeared. In fact the family - Tsar Nicholas, his wife Alexandra and their five young children -had been murdered in cold blood by the Bolsheviks. This program shows how the royal family were tricked, and follows the search to find their bodies and lay them to rest once and for all.
