	Dancing Men
		The men were kneeling side by side, naked except for belt, neck-ring and helmet - a fact reminiscent of the Danish Iron Age bog-body known as "Tollund man" whose preserved corpse was bare but for his leather belt and hat and the noose which strangled him.
		Between the pairs of men is an animal, which is either a horse with crescent-shaped horns, or a stag.
		Together with the paired dancing warriors from the Sutton Hoo pressblech, it is possible that there is an association with the ‘twin gods" mentioned in Tacitus’ "Germania" who are noted as sons of the sky-god.

	Adventure of the Dancing Men - A. Conan Doyle
		"The Adventure of the Dancing Men" is one of several Sherlock Holmes short stories in which A. Conan Doyle set a deciphering problem before his detective hero.
		The difficulty of the Dancing Men cipher to the uninitiated public of story-characters and readers is that its messages look like graffiti rather than information.
