Video Description

The Tollund Man and Grauballe Man are two of Denmark's most famous 'bog bodies,' preserved for over 2,000 years in peat bogs. Thought to have died in ritual sacrifices, they bridge archaeology and mystery.   Their remarkably lifelike faces, skin and body parts raise questions and offer some clues about life and death in Iron Age Europe.
