Minecraft: Father and daughter recreate Bronze Age tomb

An archaeologist and his daughter have recreated a Bronze Age tomb on the video game Minecraft.

Dr Ben Edwards and Bella have put in hours during lockdown reproducing Bryn Celli Ddu, a 5,000-year-old site on Anglesey.

They used actual Lidar (light detection and ranging) data from the site to make a virtual one.

"I thought it was a really fun way of doing it because kids will always want to go on Minecraft and play games like that, so it's a fun way to put learning into people's heads," said Bella.
