TOLLUND THE ENIGMA OF THE SWAMP MUMMY

Synopsis

It’s a unique archaeological relic, an exceptional find, preserved in a Danish marsh for over 2,500 years, the Tollund Man is a natural mummy offering us a rare face-to-face encounter with the past.

When we contemplate this sleeping face that has miraculously survived the centuries, a host of questions come to mind: where did it come from? Who was he? How did he live? What was he doing here, in the peat, with a rope around his neck? Was he hanged? On what grounds? In what context?
