Bog People - June 24 2010

Just caught the last ten minutes of a Discovery Kids program "Mystery Hunters" - one of the subjects was Bog People (an area I have been interested in for a while) - bodies that have been preserved by the chemistry of the bog and the why and how they got into the bog. Episode title is "Grand Canyon Honeymooners/Bog Body" - (Christina heads to Denmark where human remains are turning up in peat bogs.) The show deals with the subject in a matter-of-fact style that does not sensationalize the "sacrifice to the Gods" aspect that most historians have come to explain on why these bodies are being found in peat bogs.
