Skeletons and artifacts from ancient medieval battles preserved in the museum Visby - Gotland - Sweden.

On July 22, 1361, King Waldemaro IV of Denmark sent an army of 2,500 men to the island of Gotland, which is located about ninety kilometers from the Swedish coast, where several battles took place.
Nearly 700 years later, in 1905, a mass grave was discovered on that island, and other pits were found over the years.

The latter were found outside the gates of Visby, a fortified city, which still retains part of its walls.
Extensive archaeological investigations were carried out between 1928 and 1930 on the burial finds, then modern science provided new insights into what happened: ancient and dramatic testimonies of those bloody battles are also kept in the Museum of History in Stockholm, Sweden.
In some cases, the violence of the blows caused the camaglio (iron mesh hood) to pe*****te the victims' skulls.

The woman from Huldremose
In the 2nd century BC the body of a woman was laid in an old peat-digging hole in Huldremosen, at Ramten in Djursland. A violent cut with a sharp tool had almost severed her right upper arm before she died.
The oxygen-poor conditions in the bog meant that the woman was preserved as a bog body with skin, hair, clothes and stomach contents. She was found and dug up in 1879, when a worker was digging peat turfs at Huldremose.

Screaming mummy

The Juanita mummy, also known as the Lady of Ampato or the Inca Ice Maiden, is one of the highlights of a visit to Arequipa.

Some 500 years ago, a finely dressed and well-fed noble Incan girl around twelve to fourteen years old was sacrificed on the cold heights of Ampato Volcano in Arequipa, alongside other youths. The aim was probably to procure protection from the gods against future volcanic activity. Cold temperatures perfectly preserved their bodies, but the ice mummies were hidden from sight until the volcanic ash from the eruption of nearby Sabancaya volcano caused part of the glacier to melt. Much of the burial site likely fell into the crater when this happened, but Juanita and the other mummies were discovered around the crater in 1995 during an expedition directed by Johan Reinhard. In the vicinity, spondyllus, diverse Andean grains and plants, and several gold statues were also found.
