the Tollund Man was hung and buried in the bog

Those bogs really preserve everything, huh?

[Deaf Smith]

"has mumified his body to a remarkable degree"

So was he hung?

Hanged?

Or both?

He looks like the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz.
The scene where he went to sleep in an open field before the rain came down.

From the time I first saw his photo in an archaeology class textbook in college, I knew I wanted to visit the museum at Silkeborg. I finally got my chance while slowly driving with my wife & kids through Denmark from Norway (car ferry boat) to Germany.

The kids weren't all that impressed with the museum (as if anything at their ages could compete with the Legoland at Billund we were to visit next), but it was awesome for me to just sit there for a good while and stare into his face and marvel at how life-like this 2400 year old man was. Perhaps it was the peaceful look on his face, a short distance away through the glass. I felt a kind of "connection" with him, though I know that sounds weird.

he ate porridge, containing barley, flax, and seeds from plants and weeds.

Poor choice for one's last meal.........

"threshing waste and an abundance of seeds might indicate a special occasion"

Or it might indicate they just weren't very good at threshing.

Apparently the mail is a little slow reaching this Science Alert website because I saw the “Bog Man” in the British Museum more than 30 years ago and they were postulating then that he had been victim of a ritual human sacrifice.
