Scientific experts on Tollund Man
There are multiple views that scientific experts have on the investigation and death of the Tollund Man.
- Professor P.V. Glob was the first archaelogist to examine the body and said that his death was one of ritual sacrifice.
- Later on doctors underwent an autopsy on Tollund Man and stated that his death was from being hung due to the tongue being distended.
- First Science TV’s documentary “The Tollund Man: Denmark’s remarkable bog mummy” is based on Tollund Man’s death and the sacrifice theory. The scientist who speaks about his theory remains unknown although, he provides a relevant theory that explains why Tollund Man was put to rest due to the position where he was found, instead of being thrown into the bog, which rules out the other theory of being a criminal or slave.
