Borum Eshøj Man in Moesgaard

The three best-preserved prehistoric people in the world are the three bodies discovered at Borum Eshøj near Aarhus in Denmark. The bodies are more than 3350 years old and so well preserved that hair, nails and even clothes are preserved on their bodies.

They are now displayed as if in a burial mount in the Bronze Age exhibition of the Moesgaard Museum near Aarhus.
