2000 साल पुराना शव और मिट्टी में विघटन

What does “daldal” mean in Hindi?

A 2,000-year-old body turns up in England, and the clip explains why: «एक दलदल में एक शव मिला» (“a corpse was found in a bog”). दलदल (daldal) means swamp, bog, or marsh, the airless, acidic ground that mummifies what falls in.

Like English “quagmire,” it goes figurative fast: कर्ज़ का दलदल (the swamp of debt), दलदल में फंसना (“to get stuck in a quagmire”), a mess that pulls you deeper the more you struggle. The video’s real subject, how a spoonful of soil teems with more life than there are humans on Earth, is the science beneath the word.
