From the bloody fields of Gotland emerges the reconstructed face of a man who perished in the Battle of Visby, 1361—one of medieval Europe’s most brutal clashes. Danish invaders cut down thousands of defenders, many of them farmers and townsfolk pressed into desperate combat. Buried hastily in mass graves, their bones told stories of shattered armor, crude weapons, and a fight against overwhelming odds. Now, through forensic artistry, this single man’s face returns after nearly seven centuries, a haunting reminder of the human cost of conquest. His silent gaze bridges past and present, embodying resilience, tragedy, and the stark realities of medieval war.
