The hand of Old Croghan Man, a 2000-year-old bog body that has been naturally mummified in a peat bog. Based on his arm span, the man is believed to have been 6'6'' - quite a height for his era! His nails appear to be manicured, which has led to speculation that he was not someone who engaged in manual labour, and was possibly therefore of high status.

Unlike most ancient human remains, bog bodies have retained their skin and internal organs due to unusual conditions inside a bog that cause the co**se to mummify.
