In his sequel to The Bog People, Professor Glob explains that towards the end of the second millennium B.C., the same acid in bog water had preserved many Bronze-Age oak coffins in mounds throughout Denmark together with their contents. far from being sacrificial victims, the “Mound People” whose bodies came to light were mostly of the Bronze-Age aristocracy. They were clad in their everyday clothes and richly supplied with ornaments, votive offerings and weapons of gold and bronze. This book gives a vivid account of the many excavations and discoveries.
