Scientists Discover Food Traces From 2,400-Year-Old Mummy

A 2,400-year-old body preserved in a bog was re-analyzed by scientists that revealed the traces of the last meal eaten by man before his death. Reportedly, the meal contained porridge and fish. In the early Iron Age ‘bog body,’ the scientists found that the man has eaten his meal before 12-24 hours of his death. The body was accidentally discovered in 1950 and was taken to forensic report the same year.
