Why didn’t this 2,000 year old body decompose? - Carolyn Marshall

[@roastingnerd8545]

The claymation style is so unique and suitable to the current subject, its jagged like decomposition.

[@ghostderazgriz]

It is very inspired.

decomposition is more wrinkly and dry unlike clay

I recommend watching Caitlin Doughty's video of bog bodies. A man confessed to killing a person, but that body was already 2000 years old and got chopped up in a peat moss harvester. It might even be the same body as in this video, actually. Edit: It is the same body.

This is actually interesting because I remember reading about the most well-preserved bog body, the Tollund man in an encyclopaedia when I was little. How a body could survive for so long perfectly preserved fascinated me endlessly. It's one of the reasons why I pursued history in the future. Thanks, Ted-Ed for fostering the same curiosity and inquisitiveness in the future generations. Also, kudos to the artist for the wonderful animation
