Exhibition of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. "Throughout large parts of Europe, wet landscape features such as rivers, brooks, wells and especially bogs had a particular meaning for people in the past. Since ancient times, people were attracted yet frightened by the misty environment of the bogs. They sacrificed their most valuable items in sacred bogs, rituals that are still mysterious to us today. Numerous artefacts discovered over the last two centuries in various parts of North-western Europe bear witness to the special significance of the bogs for the ancestors of many Europeans and North Americans. Pottery, flint tools, axes, jewellery, coins, and human bodies were sacrificed in the bogs to honour pagan gods." 1, record 1, English, - The%20Mysterious%20Bog%20People%3A%20Rituals%20and%20Sacrifice%20in%20Ancient%20Europe

Exposition du Musée canadien des civilisations. «À l'intérieur de vastes pans de l'Europe, les rivières, les ruisseaux, les puits et les tourbières qui appartiennent aux paysages dits humides avaient un sens particulier pour les gens dans le passé. Dans les temps anciens, les gens étaient fascinés et terrifiés tout à la fois par l'atmosphère brumeuse des tourbières. Ils avaient l'habitude de sacrifier leurs biens les plus précieux en ces lieux sacrés, un rituel qui demeure à ce jour mystérieux. La découverte de nombreux objets depuis deux cents ans dans diverses parties du nord-ouest de l'Europe atteste de la signification particulière qu'avaient les tourbières dans la vie des ancêtres de nombreux Européens et Nord-Américains. Poterie, outils en silex, haches, bijoux, pièces de monnaie, et être vivants étaient sacrifiés dans les tourbières pour honorer les dieux païens». 1, record 1, French, - Le%20myst%C3%A9rieux%20peuple%20des%20tourbi%C3%A8res%20%3A%20Rituels%20et%20sacrifices%20dans%20l%27Europe%20ancienne
