Hi Mike,

Actaully they do say "where" the bodies are coming from. The bogs
where the mummies have been found (they have been collected for the
last couple hundred years, as per the article) are bogs that are
being mined. After the peat is mined, there isn't much bog left so
I'm not sure "where" they are, but they *were* in Europe. (they did
mention Germany and Ireland though)
