This little babay was found in a bog

There are thousands and thousands of unsolved mysteries that age back thousands and thousands of years, but the one that interested me the most are bog bodies. What are bog bodies? You will soon find out the horrid scary gross truth behind bog bodies. The past holds many secrets. “There are many unsolved historical mysteries that continue to interest people today this paper will attempt to solve the mystery of bog people by examining new and old evidence and resources.”

“Bog bodies, also known as swamp or bog people were recovered in sphagnum bogs in Northern Europe, Great Britain, and Ireland. They aren’t like ancient bodies because their skin has retained, and their internal organs have also been retained due to the surrounding environment. Some bodies still have there brain in there head, these brains once held the thoughts and the remains from ancient or even prehistoric man and life” says Wikipedia The conditions of the environment would be very acidy water, cold temperature, and shortage of oxygen. These people form when all those substances join in one area, thus makes there skin turn tan. Their skin generally survives, but the bones of bog bodies don’t. The acid wears at the calcium phosphate in the bones. Although the bones don’t get through other human features do, such as tattoos, footprint, and facial hair. Signs also say they weren’t killed by Mother Nature, but killed by man. Some bodies suggest that bog body had been stabbed, bludgeoned, hung, strangled, and decapitated. This gives me an idea that bog bodies were tortured instead of trying to preserve them. After being decapitated etc. they were thrown in a bog, some were only thrown in to starve and rot. One girl by tgbhe name of Yde girl had her hair pulled out from the top her scalp and put on the side of her head.

Bog bodies can also be classified as sacrifices, like Tolland man, he was hung with a leather rope around his neck, and archaeologists know that he was a sacrifice because the Dutch would never hang somebody bad with leather rope. Some studiers of bog people are against them being preserved, because some people that were in bogs had not retained any parts of there body, but they could have been thrown in a long time after their death.

Most of the bodies they found were in the upper class of a civilization. "He had very well manicured nails, and his fingertips and hands were indicative of somebody who didn't carry out any manual labor. So we presume he came from the upper echelons of society," says Isabella Mulhall a bog body museum project coordinator. "’He had no scars on his body, either—just the equivalent of two small paper cuts to one of his hands,’ she added” (Owen). Opposing theories say that why would so many people in the upper class die and are tortured, when they should be the ones torturing. Some theories say they are just statues, and some others say that they aren’t statues but are molds of people. That theory was probably the east possible because why would they mold people, also how would they mold them so perfectly with the finger nails being as real as anybody alive, also they had hair gel and they were manicured.

An explanation would only solve the bodies that haven’t retained, because it was torture to have been thrown in the bog, to rot. The past holds many secrets. There are many unsolved historical mysteries that continue to interest people today. After researching the truth I believe that all that is true because there is all sorts of evidence and that archaeologist know that all that’s true finding them in bogs seeing them being retained and tortured the bodies are al evidence of people either being tortured or trying to almost like freeze themselves so they can get to the future, so yes I do believe in my opinion which isn’t always right is true.
