What a fantastic exhibit at the Carnegie Museum! For thousands of years, Europeans deposited valuable objects, including people, in the bogs as sacrifices to the pagan gods. the museum has hundreds of objects on display, including Roman coins, bronze pots, jewelry, clothes and seven mummies. It looks like some of the mummified remains were murdered or sacrificed. During the bronze age, horns were deposited: I have never seen anything like this. It is like an alien civilization. One of the most amazing exhibits I have ever seen! Until now the coolest thing I have seen is Abraham Lincoln's top hat a the Chicago Field Museum in Lincoln Park, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution . But this bog exhibit is amazing: it was on display in Europe, and is presented in both French and English.

Sounds really interesting, how long will the exhibit be at the Carnegie museum? Maybe we can get there to see it in time.
Romans coins, cool! I think you can still buy some original roman coins from collector sites.
