Checking out other links beside that story about the modern murder victim dressed up as an ancient mummy, a Pict male was violently murdered a very long time ago. The facial reconstruction is interesting.

As a child I remember reading about the Picts - how they were portrayed as mysterious, dark, short people who were ruthless fighters; that was, of course, the classic disreputable attempt to diminish foes by the winners of whatever battles took place back then. Wikipedia "Pict" entry is nicely populated with material about society, religion, art, writing, culture. . . it makes interesting reading.
