Experts have used a new technique to thaw the 1,300-year-old remains of a child dubbed the “Ice Prince” after they froze them with nitrogen to preserve them.
The “Ice Prince” is thought to have been of high birth, as the experts also recovered a sword and scabbard, as well as other significant artifacts.
The Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments (Bayerisches Landesamt fur Denkmalpflege (BLFD) had recovered the grave in Tussenhausen, a municipality in the district of Unterallgau in Bavaria, in south-eastern Germany, in October 2021.
