Huldremose Woman

I saw a Facebook post on the Huldremose Woman by my friend Simon and decided to find out more. She was an Iron Age woman from year 55 AC whose remains were naturally preserved in a Danish peat bog. "She was accompanied by two skin capes, a woolen skirt, a scarf and a hair band. Her dress is one of the finest preserved female dresses from the Danish prehistory."

  1. I wonder why she, and some others they've found, were buried in peat bogs. Easy digging wouldn't seem right or there would be a lot more.

  2. She was strangled so perhaps the murderer chose that burial spot to avoid detection?
