What are 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.:
