In the season finale of the Primitive Intelligence Podcast, episode 620 titled 'Two In Half Men: Ireland's Mummified Torsos,' we explore the finding of two ancient Irish bog bodies, the Clonycavan Man and the Old Croghan Man. These well-preserved torsos from over 2,000 years ago uncover a violent yet fascinating glimpse into Ireland's Iron Age rituals, kingship, and mysterious deaths. Additionally, the episode dives deep into the unique ecosystem of peat bogs and their role in preserving historical relics, offering listeners a rich investigation into the past and the archaeologically significant landscapes.
