If you want to come here during the winter solstice of December 21st to see the chamber illuminated from the inside you will have to win the lottery arranged just for the purpose, since only 50 people will be permitted.

It is believed that this male was also a ritually slain victim. His body is so incredibly preserved 2,300 years after his death at the age of 30, due to its location in a peat bog which prevented oxidization.
