Talk:Old Croghan Man

message: From the text: Other theories suggest that Old Croghan Man and other bog bodies were sacrifices to gods of fertility or harvest,[2] and killed and buried to ensure good yields of corn
My point is that corn didn't exist in Ireland at the time he was killed. Corn comes from South America and was only introduced after European expeditions just a few hundred years ago.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.191.112.210 (talk) 16:22, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a fair point. I've applied a quick DAB/fix to the more generic "cereals" term. That whole sentence has been uncited for a while however, and either needs a proper cite (or to be removed). Guliolopez (talk) 16:53, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

message: The two main sources provided seem to contradict each other on an important point. The "Mirror" source suggests that the damage to the nipples occurred before death and is indicative of torture. The "National Geographic" source reads "Arm wounds suggested he had tried to fend off a knife before he was fatally stabbed in the heart. Then his body had been oddly mutilated—his nipples apparently cut" - suggesting a post-mortem mutilation. Further texts are less clear cut, and put forward (a more balanced) view of multiple possible causes. (ante-mortem torture by attackers, post-mortem mutilation for symbolic reasons, or just post-mortem degradation in the bog). Whatever the case, the current text should probably be tempered to reflect the lack of certainty. Unless there are any other opinions (possibly more informed on the subject than I), I'm going to update to address these issues. Guliolopez (talk) 15:38, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

message: "...and noted for the "gel" found in his hair.[1]" this needs to be sourced and / or expanded, or simply removed as vandalism" any author have a position on removing this phrase?
:The sentence that you are referring to is about the Clonycavan Man. If you do research via the internet, I assure you that you will find many to describe the mummy's hair gel. --<SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: Blue">GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 13:38, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
