88. Bog Bodies: Face to Face with the Past

Henge

Melanie Giles

Discover the haunting world of north-western Europe’s bog bodies — remarkably preserved human remains that bring us startlingly close to lives lived thousands of years ago. Blending archaeology, folklore and forensic science, Melanie Giles explores violent ancient worlds, mysterious deaths and the ethical dilemmas of displaying the dead. Featuring new discoveries and a groundbreaking investigation into Manchester Museum’s Worsley Man, Melanie reveals the bogs not as empty wastelands, but as powerful landscapes of danger, ritual and memory that continue to captivate us today.
