“The Bog People” are among the most perfectly preserved bodies in the world, due to the special chemical properties of the peat bog. In peaty conditions, the preservation of the flesh and blood sometimes occurs while the bones of such bodies usually become spongy or decompose. The peat has acids that have preserved these bodies down the last detail (such as hair and nails). It is unknown how many bog bodies have been found – many have been lost or reburied since their discovery. (http://tornadohills.com/strange/bog_people.htm). Given the modern scientific techniques and technology in the world today, scientists and archaeologists can gather important information about the lives and deaths of these people and how they looked during their life, through facial reconstructions and remains of hair and clothing.
