One of my (weird) dreams is to see mummies and bog bodies lying on their museum beds. There's just something utterly chilling and amazing that we have an opportunity to see a person who lived thousands of years ago. When I was a lot younger I watched a documentary about bog bodies which made me utterly fascinated with the subject. Then I saw a picture of a little girl, Rosalia Lombardo. It creeped me out from these things for a while, but now I'm older so I think I can handle it. Although she still makes me kind of sad and the thought of barging into the chapel and taking a picture is inappropriate.

Edited 31.7.2012 Well, it was definitely interesting, even though I'm still leaning towards Egyptian mummies in my interests regarding creepy wrinkled people (British Museum, I finally conquered you during the summer of 2011). This was still fascinating, though. Most of the bog bodies found in Denmark seemed to have marks of violence, like a rope around the neck or their throats slashed. There might have been a few people who accidentally drowned into the marshes or they were murdered and hidden, but most were apparently human sacrifices for the fertility goddess.

Plus, there were were lots of pictures. Black and white, unfortunately, but still pretty great. The text was dated and a bit jumbled, and I didn't get the prologue about the letters, but overall worth the read.
