In Paleolithic rock etchings, in the lines of millennia-old historical texts, and among intricate illustrations of medieval manuscripts, we find displays and descriptions of astonishing people, both real and unreal. The archaeological record also yields its fair share of ‘odd bodies’ – abnormally elongated skulls, gem-encrusted teeth, bizarre hybrid burials, and surprising artificial body parts. We take you on a journey through the weird and wonderful world of odd bodies, odd burials, and odd people.
