Re: The Iceman Autopsy

Oetzi the prehistoric iceman may not have been murdered, say scientists, who now believe he could be the world's first known mountaineering victim.
The ancient natural mummy was believed to have died 5,300 years ago when he was hit by an arrow during a hunting trip.
Scientists - who examined his remains when they were discovered frozen in the Alps between the Austrian and Italian border 20 years ago - thought he'd then been finished off with a vicious club blow to the head.

Now new studies at Austria's Innsbruck University have revealed that Oetzi is more likely to have died during a fall while he was climbing.
Experts will now carry out a new body-mapping scan of his remains to check if his injuries could have been sustained accidentally.
Study head Wolfgang Recheis said: ‘His death could have been a mountaineering accident rather than him being shot by an arrow as previously thought. The arrow injury could have been an old injury.’


His perfectly preserved body is stored in his own specially designed cold storage chamber at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Italy at a constant temperature of -6°C. Visitors can view the mummy through a small window.
Alongside his remains is a new Oetzi model created using 3D images of the corpse and forensic technology by two Dutch artists – Alfons and Adrie Kennis.

Re: The Iceman Autopsy

Such a fascinating read. It's amazing how much information they can gather from a body over 5000 years old if the preserving conditions are right.

Re: The Iceman Autopsy

Good post
If im ever dying in the arctic wilderness the last thing I'm going to do is swallow a piece of paper for people to find in the stomach of my preserved body 8000 years later.
and its going to say "you lost the game"
