The kreepen Man was a bog body found in Lower Saxony near Verden, Germany, 1903
The body was of a naked man lying face down with branches binding his hands and feet.
His face was very well preserved, as was his feet. Arms and hands had to be recovered in pieces.... Read story
He had long blonde hair which came off the head while removing him due to being stuck in the bog.
There isn't much to say about this body, it doesn't exist anymore, thus no further analysis can be made.
During WWII, the body was located at the Berlin Ethnographic Museum and was destroyed in one of all bombing raids. We don't know how old the body was either, radiocarbon dating was invented after WWII.
Hair believed to have belonged to the Kreepen Man was given to the Elisabethfehn Moor and Fehn Museum in 1988, radiocarbon dating of the hair gave the result 1440 - 1625 AD.
Without the body and the uncertain documentation of the hair this cannot be confirmed.
