On this channel I show you real people who lived on our planet many years ago. For fans of Anthropology and History. Today I'm going to tell you about....

In 1921, a Danish farmer decided to dig up a burial mound, but came across a coffin made from a hollowed-out oak trunk. Inside the coffin were the remains of a girl about 18 years old. Much organic matter was preserved, but little remained of the skeleton. Hair, teeth, fingernails, some skin were well preserved.

The girl was slim, 160 centimetres tall, with short blonde hair and well-groomed fingernails. The girl was wrapped in an ox skin and a wool blanket. At her feet lay the remains of a cremated child, about 5 years old, in a knot of cloth.

Of particular interest was a perfectly preserved outfit. It was a short blouse with sleeves up to the elbow and a short sheepskin skirt. The girl was also adorned with bronze bracelets and a woollen belt with a large bronze disc and earring. Beside her head lay a birch bark box with an awl, bronze pins and a hair net, as well as a bucket of leftover beer, from wheat, honey and lingonberries.

What I find unusual is that there was organic matter found but there wasn't much left of the skeleton. I'm curious as to why that is. Usually, the bones are the last thing left and the organic matter us what is mostly gone.

Wow even in ancient times those people had the love and consideration to have a proper burial even in primitive conditions

She must have been something very special when alive to have received such an elaborate burial. At 18, I assume she could be someone's wife, but probably not the mother of the five year old that was interred with her. Big sister, maybe? Or perhaps it was her parents that buried her in such a grand fashion. Regardless, what a wonderful way to honor her life than to place her as they did. They could not have known that we would be learning about their culture 3000 years later, but I'll bet they would be surprised to learn that so much of her lifestyle survived the millennia.

The most fascinating thing is she was not originaly from Denmark. Strontium analysis suggests she came from Bavaria or Czechia

She was probably black. Everyone was back then, according to Netflix, the authority on History

Amazing reconstruction. Living now is sad but looking at their lives then was sadder. My daughter is about the same size (5’2”) and just turned 18 in March.
