Photograph of the well-preserved torso
of the "Old Croghan Man," an Iron Age bog body discovered in Ireland,
that dates back over 2,000 years, with an estimated death between 362 BC and
175 BC. The body, found decapitated and cut in half, was naked except for a
plaited leather band around his left arm. This likely indicated high status.
A 2014 documentary suggested that he
was a king or prince who was sacrificed by druids due to poor weather or
harvests.
The Old Croghan Man is displayed in
the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.
