Revealed: 2,000-Plus-Year-Old Man’s Last Meal by Nora McGreevy/Smithsonianmag.com Many questions about Tollund Man arguably the most famous of Europe’s “bog bodies” remain unanswered. Killed more than 2,000 years ago, the Iron Age man was buried in a peat bog that naturally preserved his body. The exact circumstances of his death remain unclear, but experts “tend to agree that [his] killing was some kind of ritual sacrifice to the gods,” wrote Joshua Levine for What scientists do know for certain are the precise contents of Tollund Man’s last meal: porridge and fish.

Last meal of sacrificial bog body was surprisingly unsurprising, researchers say

Last meal of sacrificial bog body was surprisingly unsurprising, researchers say Elizabeth Djinis © Photograph by Robert Clark, Nat Geo Image Collection Tollund Man was hanged with a leather cord and cast into a Danish bog. Silkeborg, Denmark. Bog bodies are some of history’s most enigmatic murder victims: preserved in the peat bogs of northern Europe and Britain, their bodies can retain detailed facial expressions and reveal the methods by which they were dispatched some 2,000 years ago. Tollund Man is perhaps the best known of these victims. Discovered in 1950 by peat diggers in north-central Denmark, the Iron Age man in a wool cap still bore, around his neck, the leather noose that was used to strangle him around 350 B.C.

The Tollund Man Spills His Guts: New Analysis of Bog Body s Last Meal

Who Was the Tollund Man? In 1950, while working cutting peat in the Bjaeldskov bog about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) west of Silkeborg in Denmark, the brothers Viggo and Emil Hojgaard came across a man’s body with a “face so fresh they could only suppose they had stumbled on a recent murder,” reported Smithsonian Magazine . So much so that they called the police. Further analysis however concluded that the body was a remnant from another era. Dubbed the Tolland Man , the remains were of a 30 or 40-year-old male who lived some time between 405 and 380 BC. Found naked and with a leather noose around his neck, the man had been hung before being carefully placed in a sleeping position and buried in the bog. There he remained, preserved in the Scandinavian peat, for over 2,400 years.
