Mystery of the Mummy Murders

Across the moors of Northern Europe, peat-cutters have unearthed hundreds of well-preserved mummies. But what was most baffling was the mummies’ disturbing injuries: slit throats, decapitation, disembowelment, smashed bones and stab marks. Who were these people, mistaken for the recent dead, but preserved for 2,000 years — were they criminals? Human sacrifices? Random victims? National Geographic delves into the mystery of these mummies as experts use cutting-edge technology to uncover new evidence on how these ancient humans lived — and died.
