A 2,000-year-old human torso belonging to an Irish man was discovered in a bog in June 2003. The remains were naturally mummified and preserved so well that scientists were even able to determine his last meal after analyzing the contents of his stomach: wheat and buttermilk.
For at least 4 months before his death, it was shown that he had a meat-rich diet. Based on the length of his arms, it was estimated that he was 1.98 meters (6 feet 6 inches) tall, which would have been extremely tall for that time period.
The man also had well-groomed nails, which has led to speculation that he did not engage in manual labor and that he was someone of high status. His body is currently on display at the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.
