Alright motherfucks in light of recent mummy discussion threads I am here to post some fuckin bog bods if you are square or don't have plat i'll lay it out for you. bog bodies are dudes from long ago who got in peat bogs and well as I'm sure you can figure put PEAT=TANNINS=MUMMY dead people from 5000-50 years ago really like to be in bogs and some irish scrub is always digging them up to burn to heat their houses these mummies are ALL NATURAL, very few of them show signs that they had any help by getting their brains scooped out or stuffed with pitch or wrapped up like those jewish hollywood mummies or whatever. mostly they were killed to appease the wheat gods or some poo poo. without further ado, i will present some wikipedia all star bog body. by any metric the A#1 bod boggy is Tollund Man. this baller rear end dude was born into eternal mummy life in a bog in denmark around 375BC. his power is so strong that when they dug him up in 1950 they thought he had been killed that year. after a little bit people figured out what was really going on and noticed he was hung before he got dumped in the bog. a lot of these bog mums were murdered or sacrificed or otherwise didn't just pass peacefully in their sleep of old age in the bottom of an ancient bog. scientists cut open his stomach and found seeds from all over the place so either his people traded a lot or they traded a little and gave him a special meal before turning him into denmarks next top mummy. another famuos danish bog body is Grauballe Man. this guy got on the mummy scene probably a few decades after superstar Tollund, around 300BC. he was also mistaken for a more recent murder as his throat was slit ear to ear. dude was the first guy preserved by a bog to ever be dug up and kind of represerved for public view by modern scientists like professor glob. im gonna leave denmark for a while to bring you Old Croghan Man from ireland. this guy is another contemporary of the first two, got in that bog around 300BC. he was probably really tall and may have been a king, he had some fancy ancient bracelet thing on his arm and nerds suspect he was sacrificed for being the ruler during a lovely harvest. sounds like me at work. either way, it should come as no surprise to yuo that his head was off and the rest of his body was sliced in two. they still found out lots of cool stuff from his bog mum torso like he had girly hands that hadn't labored and he ate a bunch of meat but not for his last meal. also he had a bunch of slices under his nipples which is pretty hosed up and probably helped him stay angry for so long. Cashel Man is another irish bog man and the european OG bog mummy. they figured out this dude was from around 2000BC. that's older than a lot of them movie mummies! they also figured out this guy was probably some king riturally sacrificed and he had defensive wounds like his arm was all chopped up and poo poo. he was so old they couldn't figure out what he had just eaten or anything and he was a little butchered by a peat milling machine before his discover. holy poo poo it's Clonycavan Man another 2300 year old irish king in relatively good health sacrificed for a poor harvest. what the gently caress. i included this guy though because he was wearing 2300 year old hair gel and the scientitss speculate it was because he was so short he put his hair up to look taller. here we've got Kayhausen Boy from sexon germany. this mummy was 7 years old before he became 2300 more years old. he was found with his arms and legs bound with a bunvh of neck stab wounds but was probably sacrificed because he had a gimpy infected leg and not because he was a king with a poor harvest. There are lots of other bog body mummies out there that can be discussed in this thread, but I think this is where I'm gonna WRAP UP the OP for NOW. NO EGYPTIAN MUMMIES EVEN PRE DYNASTIC MUMMIES unless they were all natural sand burials with coincident mummification, none of this take you apart put you back together mummy business. I will accept ice mums from the Andes and Otzi if anyone wants to talk about those BUT NONE OF THESE WRAP MUMMIES WRAP=CRAP come on there are plenty more just bog body posts to make here before we start scraping the iceman barrels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_body http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bog_bodies

gently caress dude it's like just a few lines above your post, i mean sure i'll allow it here and they're interesting so if you wanna drop a post go ahead but i was hoping to exhaust some more bog bods before moving on to all of that maybe some bog body babes will get everyone postin This is Elling Woman her face was poorly preserved but her backside looks fine from here. Look at that fancy braid from 280BC. she was found 200ft away from Tollund Man so maybe we should be calling him Elling Woman's Man. here's Yde Girl from the netherlands. they dug her out of the bog way back in 1897. apparently she looked like she had just died but people 100 years ago were clearly dumber than people 2000 years ago so now she looks like that. some anthropologist thinks he knows how she looked ...

I know of this little old church in Ireland with hidden catacombs underneath it. If you ask to be taken down there, the crypt keeper will guide you. You will walk past many active family tombs, coffins, skeletons and the like. Until you come to the last tomb that is. The particular church was built on limestone and that along with just the right conditions has created the perfect environment...to preserve bodies. This last tomb contains mummified bodies several hundred years old, well preserved with clothes, hair, flesh, etc intact. The crypt keeper gives you the history on these bodies and casually mentions that touching the fingers of one particular mummy is known to bring good fortune. Should you ever go to this church, go alone. Because if you do, that is the point he will pull the "do not enter" gates aside and let you inside...

Here's some more boggers for you to pursue this is Windeby I. another one dug up in the 50s, they thought this guy was a girl because he was waifish and had long hair. he had a hairband thing they said was a blindfold at first but they're still pretty sure he was killed becauseof some wounds and they piled a bunch of rocks and poo poo on him. here's Lindow Man (AKA Pete Marsh ), another v. famous bog body. this dude from england, another guy of apparent wealth / status with no evidence of living a hard life (until the end). he ate a last meal of charred bread and then was strangled, his skull bashed in, neck broken, and his throat slit. he may have been unconscious with some of these injuries for hours before finally going to the big bog sleep. amazingly the harvest does not appear to be directly implicated in this case, but i think you know th edeal.

Cladh Hallan is a place in scotland where they found some prehistoric mummies. they found four skeletons from 1600-1200BC, they were initially mummified immediately after death in the peat and then dug back up after a couple years and put on display somewhere for another few hundred before being re-interred. at some point three thousand years ago someone played human lego and replaced missing parts with extras from completely different centuries.

Borremose Man was pulled out of the bog in 1946. probably from around 700BC, they noted that he was buried with coats and a hat but was naked. he had a noose around his neck but his leg was also broken and his skull was bashed in. a year later and a kilometer away, they found Borremose II, a (probable) lady mum from 400BC. she had a bunch of birch poles stacked on and around her and her leg was also broken and head was also smashed in. she had a fancy cloak and they found a ceramic jar and dead baby adjacent to her.

I can't find a picture but theres a cool bog body story. in the 1950s a guy's wife disappeared and everyone reckoned he did it but they never found a body and they couldn't prove anything then in the 1980s (before they dug up the lindow man) they dug up a bit of a womans skull with some hair and an eyeball in lindow moss. the guy thinks it's bits of his dead wife and cops to her murder. when they get the skull carbon dated it turns out it was actually a bit of a woman who'd been dumped in the bog when the romans were around but the confession is enough to get him convicted. they still haven't found the actual body

# ? Oct 30, 2014 21:08 |

yeah, that's a great one. more details under the wiki for lindow woman. in another few hundred years someone's gonna dig up that guy's murdered wife and attribute her death to a poor harvest

thanks man i figured if i was gonna try to make a good thread i might as well try to make a good thread now that we got some of the important names covered from the golden age of bog bodies, i figure i can hit some of the more recent players in the game the Kreepen Man probably lived in the 1500s. in 1903 they found a naked bearded dude face down in the dirt. i can't find much info on this guy other than most of the well-preserved remains were lost in WWII but whatever pubes survived until modern science poo poo allowed a dating to the 1500s swedish Bocksten Man was found in 1936. some farmer was cutting up peat and saw bones, ended up being a well preserved mummy dude from the 1300s. he had some fruity hood that the internet says means he was some prosperous tax collector or recruiter, and apparently there is a local legend about a medieval recruiter who was killed by peasants and buried in the bog he now haunts. he got his skull bashed in.

quote:For three years the priests would eat a special diet consisting only of nuts and seeds, while taking part in a regimen of rigorous physical activity that stripped them of their body fat. They then ate only bark and roots for another three years and began drinking a poisonous tea made from the sap of the Urushi tree, which contains Urushiol (same stuff that makes poison ivy), normally used to lacquer bowls. This caused vomiting and a rapid loss of bodily fluids. Finally, a self-mummifying monk would lock himself in a stone tomb barely larger than his body, where he would not move from the lotus position. His only connection to the outside world was an air tube and a bell. Each day he rang a bell to let those outside know that he was still alive. When the bell stopped ringing, the tube was removed and the tomb sealed.

XMNN posted:deal w/ it Dätgen Man was found in the 50s in germany in case the umlaut i copied didn't give that away. this guy probably lived in the second or third century, he had been beaten and decapitated and his head was buried a ways from his body. apparently this was to prevent him from becoming a zombie... too bad he became A MUMMY. the hair shows a Suebian knot which was apparently stylish at the time because Osterby Man had one too. they only ever found this guy's head buried by itself in a deerskin sack so his bdoy probably went and did the whole wiedergänger zombie thing they were so scared of.
