Tests on the remains of a human body unearthed in a bog in County Laois, Ireland, have established that they date back as far as 2000 BC.<br /><br />The findings mean it is one of the oldest mummified bog bodies ever discovered. <br /><br />The remains were found by a worker milling peat in 2011. <br /><br />The chemical make-up of bogs can preserve human bodies for thousands of years.<br />http://www.euronews.net/
