Re: The Iceman Autopsy
Great post Kelly! I don't believe he was murdered. Mainly because of the fact that his tools and clothing were intact. Surely these items probably had allot of value in his time and environment. More than likely the murderer or murderers,would have stolen these items. He probably fell and hit his head. |

Re: The Iceman Autopsy
Ötzi the Iceman, a well-preserved natural mummy of a Chalcolithic (Copper Age) man from about 3300 BC, who was found in 1991 in the Schnalstal glacier in the Ötztal Alps, near Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy. The ice-man was found by German tourists and is believed to have lived approximately 5,300 years ago. Over the past twenty years, the ice-man has been studied by various scientists looking for clues that might reveal the nature of the world he inhabited. In addition to his body, researchers also found artifacts that are believed to have belonged to him—the cause of his death, ranging from an arrow wound, to a blow on the head has also been the subject of much research and conjecture. In this latest effort, the researchers were looking to determine if anyone alive today can be tied genetically to the ancient ice-man. Study of the ice-man has revealed that he had Lyme disease, that he was approximately 46 years old at the time of his death, was approximately five foot two, was likely from Sardinia originally, and had a predisposition to heart disease. It's still not known what he was doing in the Alps, or why he was killed, likely from falling after being shot in the collarbone by an arrow. His stomach contents indicated he ate a diet heavy in meat and because he was carrying a bow and arrows, researchers have speculated that he was likely either a hunter or a soldier. His remains have been kept in cold storage to prevent decay since his removal from his final resting place. .... for more information on this subject...click on this link ..or just google it... http://phys.org/news/2013-09-archeol...rn.html#inlRlv  ·  · |
