This is Röst Girl, a toddler who lived sometime between 200 B.C.E. and 80 C.E. in what is now Germany. She’s possibly the youngest bog body ever found.

Unfortunately, she no longer even exists. She was destroyed (along with so many other cultural artifacts and treasures) during the Second World War. Only the woolen cloak that was placed over her body in the bog remains, and this was used to date her.

Nice post!

For your information, röst is the swedish word for voice. Lol

That's crazy, I've never seen anything like it.

Interesting find. That brought the 500 yo mummies from Greenland to my memory. I guess this child is the most famous of them. They are preserved not in a moor but by the cold climate, which, I admit, is something totally different

Fascinating, it's a shame she was lost, I expect modern science could have found out a lot about her.

Fill him up with helium and we´ll have a party!

I was thinking she could be blown up myself :) Didn't think of the helium though.
