original preservation.
Two examples of bog bodies are Tollund Man, discovered in Denmark in 1950, and Grauballe Man, also found in Denmark in 1952. These well-preserved bodies provide valuable insight into ancient cultures and burial practices.
About 90 Bog Bodies have been found in toal.
they wore moldy clothes that were found with them in the bog

The exact reasons for the presence of bog bodies are not definitively known. While some researchers suggest that some bog bodies could be victims of human sacrifice or executions, others argue that they may have been accidental deaths or individuals who met with foul play. Further research and analysis are necessary to fully understand the circumstances surrounding the deposition of bog bodies.
bog bodies are mummified bodies of people or animals, that are found in peat bogs. They are preserved for many years under the mud, and many of the ones found are dated back to the Iron Age. Bog bodies are preserved by all the acid in the ground, and their discovery spots are often in Europe. Bog bodies are usually very well preserved, sometimes, so well preserved that they are mistaken for recent murder victims. Scientists say that most bog bodies found died through some kind of ritualistic sacrifice, for many either had evidence of stab wounds, or had a rope tied around their neck. Hair and clothes have sometimes been found intact. This is a picture of Tollund Man, a bog body mummified in a peat bog in Denmark. He was found in 1950 by two men, and is aprox. 2,000 years old.:

some people just fell in the bogs ,others were sacrificed and left in the bogs.
Two examples are Bog Moss and Rafflesia Rafflesia: Have an unpleasant smell Bog Moss: Have spiky leaves around the plant
The Bog people of Denmark were likely placed in the bog as part of a ritual sacrifice. They were often buried naked or with few possessions, and their bodies were naturally preserved by the acidic and oxygen-poor environment of the bog. These burials may have been religious or ceremonial in nature, with the individuals perhaps being seen as offering to the gods.
