Date Published: Third Printing, 1975
One spring morning two men cutting peat in a Danish bog uncovered a
well-preserved body of a man with a noose around his neck. Thinking they
had stumbled upon a murder victim, they reported their discovery to the police,
who were baffled until they consulted the famous archaeologist P.V. Glob.
Glob identified the body as that of a two-thousand-year-old man, ritually murdered
and thrown in the bog as a sacrifice to the goddess of fertility. Written in the
guise of a scientific detective story, this classic of archaeological history--a
best-seller when it was published in England but out of print for many years--is a
thoroughly engrossing and still reliable account of the religion, culture, and
daily life of the European Iron Age. Includes 76 black-and-white photographs.
This book has been gently read, the pages are clean and bright with light wear to it's cover.
