Iron Age Denmark
By Linda Tancs
The Early Iron Age in Denmark covers the period from 500 B.C. until 400 A.D. Arguably one of the most important discoveries of the period was Tollund Man, a mummified corpse left for dead in a Danish bog some 2,400 years ago. So named for the two discoverers who hailed from Tollund (located close to the bog), the reason for his death is unknown to this day although human sacrifice was fairly common during that time. The body is a main feature at Silkeborg Museum in Hovedgården, where you can immerse yourself in the history of the Silkeborg region from ancient times to the present day.
