What are bog bodies?

bog bodies are bodies, sometimes thousands of years old, which has been maintained from decomposition byoxic conditions of peat bogs and humic acid in marshy water. These bodies are the most preserved window to people who lived in Europe in Iron Age. Face structures, skin and internal organs of swamp bodies are highly preserved, allowing detailed study, including what these people ate just before death. Most swamps come from people who have been forcibly killed, either as a punishment for crimes or as a human sacrifice. The prevalence of human victims in Europe Iron Acce Europe for successful crops and other reasons is well introduced. It is so old that it prevents bronze times in Europe, instead it is a rare artifact from Europe of stone. The latest bodies of peat date back to the 16th century, including a woman from Ireland, which was obviously buried in an uninhabited country (swamp) after suicide. In some cases, bog bodies were obviously killed for violently and contained more stab wounds. In one case that tollunThe Dan man, one of the best preserved swamp bodies, was found buried with a rope around his neck that was used to kill.

bog bodies are usually obtained when people harvest peat from peat bog to fuel. Shortly after the body is revealed, it begins to decompose, so after this point it is necessary to maintain rapidly. Some swamp bodies deteriorated after their discovery due to incorrect preservation. Bog bodies generally have brown or black hair and the skin caused by chemicals in the swamp that stains them. Archaeologists are lucky to find any swamp, because the exact conditions contributing to their formation are rare and generally occur only in swamps near salt water. For this reason, one of the best places in the world is bog Bodies is in Denmark, Jutland, which is often sweeped by winds with salty moisture.
