I know what you mean. We have wonderful technology and talented minds to use this kind of technology to bring back the lives of the past. Humanity at its best. In this case.
Ok, so I did a little digging [no pun intended.. ok ok, maybe a little intended] and found he was about 40yo and buried approx. 380 B.C. He likely died from strangulation as there was a rope found around his neck and had ligature marks. Scientists also determined he had some hair stubble on his chin and lip, so you're not only incredibly talented, but also historically accurate, PS! 👏👏
Omg that’s sounds sad. We don’t know the story of why he was hanged but it’s terrible. I was thinking people were executed for petty theft or crimes in history so that makes it even sadder. Then he could have been a hardened criminal 😖
@@Autumn74 Archeologists have pointed out that he was placed in the bog in a sleeping position. It is also likely that those who buried him closed his eyes and mouth after death. Because of this his death is often seen as a sacrifice to a god. Other bog bodies do not show the same special treatment that Tollund man’s does
@@nilecopeland8626 Thanks for explaining, I have read about sacrifice and how important and valued people were sometimes sacrificed. Like giving up something or someone close to your heart .
Somebody's son, somebody's brother, somebody's daddy, somebody's husband, .... Now we all see him as somebody very handsome. Wish we could bring him back to life. Just think what he could teach us and we him. Just think of what the shock he'd have seeing our 2024 world. Imagine us listening to him explain the world he was living in. Rest in peace handsome man. Thank you. This was amazing to watch.
Giving faces to the dead is amazing....it truly is incredible to see what people may have looked like so many years ago.....love to see these....keep doing it please
He was very handsome. Maybe that’s why he was chosen for sacrifice or so the speculation goes. He looks like he’s just sleeping. RIP Toullund Bog Man…😇😇😇
@@AnicePerson-en5gs The big bodies are actually thought to have been sacrifices. This man is believed to have been high born, and was probably an offering of some kind.
Two other bog mummys were found very close to where the Tollund man was found. It might indicate, that it was a sacred bog, preserved to the chosen ones to satisfy the Gods.
@Bone Thug Niether. His death was sacrificial. Whenever the harvest bare little fruit, the village would be forced to select straws and whoever got the short straw was chosen to be sacrificed for whatever pagan deities they worshipped at the time. Traditionally, it was considered the highest honer because you are giving your life to save the clans and after the sacrifice, the victim would be celebrated. However, the Victims last male would be a fate worse than death, so the way that they were treated was rather odd.
It's marvelous what can be done with computer imaging in nowadays. This man died in circumstances we will never know. However, he provides us with insight of his life & culture of his time. Rest in peace brother, your death was not in vain.
Really cool! Thank you. I actually saw this mummy at a museum. You could still see the red hair. They know now the reason their hair looks red because of the iron in the bogs, and not because they’re all red heads. Good job on the coloring!
I always found the mummy’s face fascinating and thought he must have been good looking. I did not think he was possibly this handsome. Perhaps a little bit older but that is hard to determine. A brilliant result.
Most of the bog mummies are believed to have been extremely beautiful/handsome young men. Many were sacrificed to the goddess of iron as husbands. Many also had their hair done and were dressed in jewelry and decorated in ways that suggested they were prepared for a wedding. Edit: This particular specimen was not one of those, and is believed to have been executed in a far different manner than most other bog bodies were from that time, and he was older. But I do wonder if he was also seen as a viable 'offering' because he might have been considered attractive as well?
@@vaszgul736 I believe they were either high status or did not do hard physical work. (The suggestion of manicured hands or at least a lack of calluses.)
I have known of Tollund Man for 75 years. This computer reconstruction is beautifully and believable in its depiction. To see his features come to life is a most emotional experience, to finally see a familiar former human being
I understand why they copied one side of his face to create the finished picture, but it is extremely rare to find a person whose face is that symmetrical. I have done my own picture, using one side of my face to create the other side (both ways, actually), and it looked like someone else completely
Love that you stick to the historic facts in regarding this person, when using your amazing talents bringing him to life. We're are so lucky to be able to see this happen and also know the history behind it, with others engaging about the historic recreation at hand. Absolutely precious. #historycomingtolife
Great work!!! Absolutely wonderful to bring the mummy to life, albeit in image form only. Other than that, may you rest in enternal peace and thank for teaching us about the past.
Thank you for bringing this man to life! I have always remembered this find, and thought he looked handsome somehow- you are so talented & would be a valuable resource for law enforcement, archeologists & reconstructive surgeons everywhere!
This moved me a lot .I remember the first documentary of him.He may have died in such a tragic way but I always thought he looked so peaceful.It was amazing just how preserved he was.You have done an amazing empathic image of him.I thought he would have been handsome at the time.And this shows he was.Looking at his own face ,the only wrinkles on there would have been from where the skin was moved after death,with the weight of the water and material in the bog.People on this side of the world tend to age slower because our sun is not so harsh.I have only just started to gain my wrinkles and I have just retired.There are a lot of reasons people were sacrifices and type of people too.He could have even been a King or head of his clan and that year ,things were not good for his subjects .Bad crops,cattle dying for no reason.Bad raids and lost lives.So they Sacrificed him and elected a new King,or head of the clan in hoping that things changed..I pity the one that followed as the same fate awaited him unless things changed. I cannot remember.But that’s the way it was and times and beliefs were harsh.Thank you for giving him a face after all these hundreds of years 🥰
2,401 years later and we get to see this handsome man's face - something so crazily beyond comprehension when he died and for that matter, until fairly recently. Amazing.
I think he would have looked older. The face you created could be a man in his 30s. The Tollund man was older and life was harder in those times. You still see the wrinkles on his forehead. Nevertheless I think he was a good looking guy. He still is in death.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 . Wasn't he about 50-ties? So I have read. Anyway, on the reconstruction he looks like 25, so younger than he really was. And people looked older these days due to hard life, physical work and lack of good, nutritional food.
Hey, have someone ever given you a photo (ie elderly to make young, mummy to come alive, etc) without showing you the actual and then made the comparison? Your (blind) work appears to be so spot on would LOVE to see how accurate your work is to the real image.
I really like you version of him, but for some reason it also made me kind of depressed, because I really wish wee could literally bring him back to life, if that makes sense.Great video keep it up x
In some of these old bodies there is intact DNA, usually inside the teeth in the dental pulp. When cloning technology advances some more it may be possible to clone this man. It would not be the actual man himself, but it would be his identical twin brother born about 2,400 years later.
This is one of my favorite recreations. ❤ Great job! It's believed he was a sacrificed, not sure for what, whether criminal, or a gift to the God's for future fruitful crops? Sometimes the Kings, or Leaders, would be sacrificed if there had been too many lean years, or they perceived them to be a poor Leader. This man was strangled, or garotted, with the cord still around his neck.
In the North West of England we have Lindow Man (known affectionately as Pete Marsh as he was found in a bog). It is believed he was a younger son of an Irish king, who was sent to England to be offered as a sacrifice to the Celtic gods. We do know that he was given something to eat / drink which, on examination, contained mistletoe seeds, he was garrotted and had V-shaped, 3.5-centimetre (1.4 in) cut on top of his head (probably from a blunt object). He was also placed, face down, into a pool of water within the bog. It would be fantastic if you could do to Lindow Man what you’ve done to Tolland Man.
The mummy looks like he was probably much older when he died...older than the recreation looks. Those facial wrinkles in the mummy's face don't look like they were caused by being preserved in a bog...they look like age wrinkles...And the effects of years of sun damage.
I dont agree as i doubt he had sun damage wrinkles in denmark..its a cold country with short cool summer. So excactly how would his skin be sun damaged Thecmummy is from.denmark
@@florrie8767 Denmark is at a high latitude. The thinner atmosphere means the sun's radiation is that much more intense - even winter sun will damage the skin. Regardless, age and sun damaged skin is blatantly obvious. The man was relatively old when he died.
He was a handsome man! I love the history behind the bog bodies! You have such incredible talent and you always get these people of history very accurate! I have requests but I’ll hold mine, I know you get a lot of them and you work so hard on bringing these people back to life with your talent! I’d love to see Windeby I brought to life! He was such a mystery!
You've made made him so handsome. I think I mistook the marks made by being weighed down by peat as wrinkles, so I always thought he was a much older man. I can see through your recreation how the somewhat crumpled face maps back out to your result and it looks highly plausible. I first read about Tollund Man around 30 years ago when I found P.V. Glob's book about Bog People on the shelf at a house I was visiting. I've been obsessed with bog people ever since. The only one I have seen in person is Lindow Man when I lived in the UK. It's wonderful to finally "meet" Tollund Man the way he might well have looked. I wonder if they are right that he was ritually sacrificed, and if so, why him?
I read about this in my school library. I was 11. It set me on my journey of discovery. I’m now 72 . It was a real jaw dropping moment when I found that book.
@@richb3802 I agree, ... I actually read this years ago. This man was a sacrifice of sorts ... ...so theres no knowing what kind of family he came from. The bog was just a suitable place where they couldnt be found.

Siempre me he preguntado cómo sería este pobre hombre en la realidad, ahora ya lo sé gracias a tí. Cuando veo estas reconstrucciones siento pena, curiosidad y admiración. Sin duda una de las momias mejor conservadas del mundo y seguro que hay más. Gracias ☺️
He lived about 2.4 K years ago. People do not change that much in that relatively short time. Why wouldn’t he look like that? Their lifestyle and way of dress was different but if you could bring them to the 21st century and dress them in jeans and T-shirts, give them trendy hair cut, holding a mobile phone, you would not know the difference.
I first read about this poor man when my son was 8 an taught my son about him an studied about him an other past lives of Egypt mummies n Chinese an other amazing stories of history. But this by far was my favorite story . I new he was probably handsome an here I see I was correct an unjustly hung but I believe that it was believed he was sacrificed to their god as believed they were pagens then . My heart broke for him . An I was amazed at how preserved he is but it's mainly only half of him . The Bog he was in preserved him so well ! He looks like he is just sleeping his skin compared to other mummies is amazing looking .
I do love a serious re-creation. It's very compelling and even emotional to see historical places and people reconstructed to look as they did millennia ago...it creates a bond and a connection with those of us living today who view them, and reminds us that humanity is the same the world over, and all through time, and the differences between people then and people now are merely cultural and purely superficial. However, I find it hard to take the re-creations on this channel seriously. The computer skills are very good, but the gradual idealization of the subjects is ultimately disappointing, and I end up never feeling like I'm looking at anyone real, someone who really lived. What is looking back at me on the screen is an avatar, not a real human whose eyes are reaching across the centuries to connect with my modern self. Maybe it takes more research about the time, place, circumstances of death, cultural norms, the science behind the process of their death...something? Thousands of years and whatever you find in a bog are going to make a difference between what this man looked like the moment he was thrown in, to what we saw when he was discovered so long after his death, but scientists do know a thing or two about what his life/culture/diet was like, and what bog chemicals do to a body over time, etc. Turning a man who looked 50 when he died (however old he may have really been, and I bet they have a good idea what that number was) into what seems like a 30-something/hot-guy/Instagram model really doesn't do his story justice. He doesn't need to be prettied-up, he needs to be remembered for who he was. Well, my 2 cents. I hope whoever is running this channel keeps doing what they're doing, but maybe with a little more gravitas?
How deeply sad I got seeing this face, I had no idea of this mummy but it really hurt see his face and the point that another user said he was murdered makes it even more heart crushing. Thanks for a revealing job!
Absolutely gorgeous. Sad that he died in such a way. Whether gorgeous or not, such a death is truly sad. Amazing job. Thank you. His body/corpse has always held my attention.
The mummies found in those bogs are just incredible! So well preserved we can see the way his cheek squished as he laid on it. I went down a rabbit hole when I learned he was not the only bog mummy that's been found.
His alive face certainly looks a lot different than his dead one. Fascinating to think that he was a living, breathing human being. I wonder what his world was like. Sad that he came to a sticky end.
The anthropologists think he may have been highborn, if not royalty, because of the placement of his hands, and that his eyes and mouth had been closed after death. In some early cultures the king was regarded as the embodiments of the community, and some were ritually sacrificed at the end of the year, or in times of famine or catastrophic weather changes to propitiate the gods. Sir James George Frazer and Mircea Eliade wrote a lot about this.
@@grovermartin6874 Oh, that's very interesting. It reminds me of the series The Vikings, where people willingly allowed themselves to be sacrificed to the Gods. Yes, if this guy could speak to us I wonder what story he would tell.
Absolutely outstanding..the old image of the "Bog Man" has been around forever..and to see his likeness brought back to a liveing one is amazing.. beautifuly done..I love the future !!
@@pinkiesue849 most of the scientists involved believe him to be highborn because of the arrangement of his body. It is thought likely that he was sacrificed to propitiate their deities.
I always feel so emotional watching these transformations. It's like you bring them back to life one last time.

Bog man's good looking alright! Maybe he messed around with a king's wife? So he was executed? Or he was murdered for his gold?

He was so handsome ! 🤩
For some reason that made me feel like crying.
Siempre me he preguntado cómo sería este pobre hombre en la realidad, ahora ya lo sé gracias a tí. Cuando veo estas reconstrucciones siento pena, curiosidad y admiración. Sin duda una de las momias mejor conservadas del mundo y seguro que hay más. Gracias ☺️
Que tristeza. Pobre hombre.
Wieczny odpoczynek racz mu dać Panie....
Incredible work you did...👍💯 %
Wow he was so handsome kind of sad to watch him come to life like that. God rest his soul
Fantastic skills, but I doubt that a 40 year old Danish man from 375 BC would look like a Californian surfer dude.
He lived about 2.4 K years ago. People do not change that much in that relatively short time. Why wouldn’t he look like that? Their lifestyle and way of dress was different but if you could bring them to the 21st century and dress them in jeans and T-shirts, give them trendy hair cut, holding a mobile phone, you would not know the difference.
For starters there’s no evidense that he was blond with blue eyes. He might as well be middle european of origen.
Blonde hair and blue eyes are Common. He is very possible a gift for the Gods or a slave trying to escape.
Exactly !
@@tophatLaviana I don’t think that he died because he drowned , but due to the rope he was already dead when they throw him in the water ?
This is beautifully done. Thank you!
That’s one of the coolest reconstructions I’ve seen!! Now maybe we can figure out why he was killed!
And bring the murderers to justice!!!
Probably colonizing another's Land who knows why he died in this manner.
His throat was cut, there's a documentary on it. Also, he doesn't look anything like this artist made him look like. He's aged and weathered.
@@scottpreston5074 he may of been a murderer
@@OUigot was it murder, sacrifice? What do you think?
He looks a little like the movie star Burt Lancaster from the 40s through 80s; very handsome. Thanks for this.
This is so cool, do more!
And he would never think his face would be seen by millions of people. Great Job. Rest In Peace
I first read about this poor man when my son was 8 an taught my son about him an studied about him an other past lives of Egypt mummies n Chinese an other amazing stories of history. But this by far was my favorite story . I new he was probably handsome an here I see I was correct an unjustly hung but I believe that it was believed he was sacrificed to their god as believed they were pagens then . My heart broke for him . An I was amazed at how preserved he is but it's mainly only half of him . The Bog he was in preserved him so well ! He looks like he is just sleeping his skin compared to other mummies is amazing looking .
In Wikipedia we read that he was so well preserved that those who uncovered him in 1952 thought his was a recent death.
Loved seeing this , amazing. Thank you .
I do love a serious re-creation. It's very compelling and even emotional to see historical places and people reconstructed to look as they did millennia ago...it creates a bond and a connection with those of us living today who view them, and reminds us that humanity is the same the world over, and all through time, and the differences between people then and people now are merely cultural and purely superficial.
However, I find it hard to take the re-creations on this channel seriously. The computer skills are very good, but the gradual idealization of the subjects is ultimately disappointing, and I end up never feeling like I'm looking at anyone real, someone who really lived. What is looking back at me on the screen is an avatar, not a real human whose eyes are reaching across the centuries to connect with my modern self.
Maybe it takes more research about the time, place, circumstances of death, cultural norms, the science behind the process of their death...something? Thousands of years and whatever you find in a bog are going to make a difference between what this man looked like the moment he was thrown in, to what we saw when he was discovered so long after his death, but scientists do know a thing or two about what his life/culture/diet was like, and what bog chemicals do to a body over time, etc. Turning a man who looked 50 when he died (however old he may have really been, and I bet they have a good idea what that number was) into what seems like a 30-something/hot-guy/Instagram model really doesn't do his story justice. He doesn't need to be prettied-up, he needs to be remembered for who he was.
Well, my 2 cents. I hope whoever is running this channel keeps doing what they're doing, but maybe with a little more gravitas?
He was thirty.
Love your comment; it has life in it.
It's a bit of fun , he's not being brought back to life, relax and enjoy it
Of all the transformation done in this fashion this one is the best
This man that died a terrible death has been given a face thank you
Imagine the stories he could tell us of life in his time .
When you put a face with the dead it makes it hit differently. RIP guy I never knew
Amazing. It's sad to think he was so young when he died especially if he was murder. I'm guessing the rope around his neck wasn't a fashion statement.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
At the beginning:Photo is terrifying
In the middle: looks a little weird
Ending: beautiful!
Outstanding!!!
How deeply sad I got seeing this face, I had no idea of this mummy but it really hurt see his face and the point that another user said he was murdered makes it even more heart crushing. Thanks for a revealing job!
Amazing 🤩
It’s like magic ✨
Stimmt. Hastt du recht.faszinierend.
People back then would have called it magic and PhotoshopSurgeon would also have been in the bog right beside this guy! 👀 😮
Bril! Loved the way you matched the 2 at the end.
Amazing! He is alive again
Absolutely gorgeous. Sad that he died in such a way. Whether gorgeous or not, such a death is truly sad. Amazing job. Thank you. His body/corpse has always held my attention.
Hello dear how are you doing?
Wow..very handsome..beautiful eyes..😊❤❤
Beautiful work !! U gave this man one last chance to tel the world His story !!! May He rest now !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder what he would think to know that he lives again?
This is fantastic!
The mummies found in those bogs are just incredible! So well preserved we can see the way his cheek squished as he laid on it. I went down a rabbit hole when I learned he was not the only bog mummy that's been found.
He was probably older than this new picture showes.
probably thousands of years
His alive face certainly looks a lot different than his dead one. Fascinating to think that he was a living, breathing human being. I wonder what his world was like. Sad that he came to a sticky end.
The anthropologists think he may have been highborn, if not royalty, because of the placement of his hands, and that his eyes and mouth had been closed after death. In some early cultures the king was regarded as the embodiments of the community, and some were ritually sacrificed at the end of the year, or in times of famine or catastrophic weather changes to propitiate the gods. Sir James George Frazer and Mircea Eliade wrote a lot about this.
@@grovermartin6874 Oh, that's very interesting. It reminds me of the series The Vikings, where people willingly allowed themselves to be sacrificed to the Gods. Yes, if this guy could speak to us I wonder what story he would tell.
Excellent, well done
Fabulously done!
Incredible !
Visited in 1992.
Amazing!!!
Curious of your thoughts?
Surprising, I believe those chosen for sacrifice were often volunteers, and he may have been high born!
I tend to think they were more likely “volunteered” by others myself.
When he’s dead he looks much older I think than the live creation.
That thumbnail guarantees my nightmare 😉
Why?
Saw him in a very different light. He was a handsome fellow.
Mind
blowing
Gorgeous!!! What a waste. Though long dead, could have been one of my Danish ancestors.
Absolutely outstanding..the old image of the "Bog Man" has been around forever..and to see his likeness brought back to a liveing one is amazing.. beautifuly done..I love the future !!
Its wonderful isnt it...
...how modern technology is helping us bring the past to life.
Obviously a Scandanavian mummy😆
Yep. According to the video’s description, this mummy was found in Denmark, which is part of the Scandinavian region.
@@NZ_BraveHeart_0120 dane here We learn about him in School sometimes
@@liljakonzack5059 was he a king?
@@pinkiesue849 no he was most likely a theif
@@pinkiesue849 most of the scientists involved believe him to be highborn because of the arrangement of his body. It is thought likely that he was sacrificed to propitiate their deities.
Touching and beautiful. Thank you.
