Have you ever heard of "bog bodies"? I had never heard of them until Ferenc told our wetlands class about them yesterday. They're bodies found in bogs that have been extremely well preserved because of three important features of bogs: anoxia, acidic water/peat, and cool temperatures. Here is a page about bog bodies in general, and here is the example Ferenc showed us, the Tollund Man. You should really look at the Tollund Man. It's amazing that he lived during the 4th or 5th century BC and is still that well preserved. You can even see the stubble on his face! And he still had food in digestive system so they know what his last meal was! I think that's amazing.
