Loschbour man, Prehistoric human skeleton near Mullerthal, Luxembourg.
The Loschbour skeleton reveals a male individual measuring 160 centimeters in height with blue eyes and dark hair who lived during the Mesolithic period.
Amateur archaeologist Nicolas Thill discovered the complete human skeleton under a rock shelter along the Black Ernz river in October 1935.
