Accordingly, it is about 2,000 years old BC. This is extremely noticeable because the largest mummy of this type was only around 1,300 BC. Therefore, this is considered one of the largest archaeological findings of Ireland in recent years.

It is known that this is the mummy of a young man in a bowing posture. When discovered, the mummy is covered by peat. Unfortunately, the head, neck, chest and arms were damaged during excavation, making the cause of this young man's death difficult to determine. However, most scientists believe that this man died in a sacrificial ritual.

Mr. Eamonn Kelly, of the National Museum of Ireland said: 'Body injuries show that this person is likely to die in a sacrifice ceremony. I think this incident happened in the last phase of the Iron Age.

We were really surprised by the fact that this sacrificial ritual was started so soon. We even assumed that the victims of this sacrifice were kings who had lost their throne in the past. This is the consequence they have to accept after losing their kingship. '
