This Sculpture Was BURIED for 1 400 Years

In 1506, Michelangelo stood in front of a newly unearthed sculpture and insisted the arm was bent. He was overruled. For the next 451 years, the world saw the wrong Laocoön — until a broken fragment found in a Roman stonecutter's yard proved he had been right all along. But the bent arm is only one of the mysteries still surrounding this sculpture. Why isn't the priest screaming? Was it really carved from a single block, as Pliny claimed? And could the most famous ancient sculpture in the Vatican actually be a Renaissance forgery? Join us as we unravel the strange history of Laocoön and His Sons.
