Danish archaeologist P.V. Glob chronicles the forensic and historical investigation of these extraordinary Iron Age bodies, some dating back over 2,000 years, illuminating the lives, rituals, and deaths of these ancient peoples with scientific precision and narrative authority. The text argues compellingly that many of these individuals were ritual sacrifices, victims offered to the earth goddess Nerthus, weaving together archaeology, mythology, and cultural history into a coherent and deeply atmospheric account. Written with the clarity of a scientist and the passion of a storyteller, this seminal work remains an essential reference for anyone captivated by the ancient world and the secrets that lie buried beneath the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956363014363,"sku":"2026200008484-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ccaf2785-1922-42ec-abbf-d019352092e4.png?v=1783500258","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008484-secondhand-the-bog-people-iron-age-man-preserved","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
