Otzi Research Paper

Japan has created many separate holidays over the centuries of its existence. It is commonplace for nearly every holiday that takes place to involve some form of mask or masks. One of the most famous masks is called Oni, currently known as invisible spirit of the dead in Chinese. Oni are known in Japanese folklore as hellish creature whom come from hell to terrify evil humans. The origin of Oni is believed by some scholars to be Buddhist, yet since its creation, Oni have spread to other beliefs and as a cultural icon all across Japan. Later, the story changed from horrifying beasts to creatures that are outcasts, showing them in a more sympathetic light. Stories appealed to peoples emotions as the Oni were mistreated and disliked by many.

Otzi was found in September 1991 by two hikers that wondered off track. The first part they saw was Otzis head and shoulders of which were sticking out of the ground. At first, they thought his body was an abandoned doll. It was very unlikely that he would have been found because it had been thousands of years of snow and ice piled on top of him. A few days before that a huge snow storm hit. After particularly warm days it helped Otzi to be found.

Ötzi the Iceman is the oldest naturally preserved human body ever found. Because of Ötzi, we can touch and almost see into the very distant past. We can imagine the lives led by our human ancestors. The discovery and study of Ötzi enables us to look back through time and glimpse an ancient world.

The author Joy McCorriston, was a student at the Institute of Archaeology in London and found out about the chance to visit the Lascaux cave from a radio show contest. Although she didn’t “win” she was lucky enough to join the tour. She listens to stories from Monsieur Jaceues Marshal, a discoverer of the cave and the cave’s guard as she gets to tour the cave. Lascaux Cave’s discovery had come about because four local boys found a hiding place to tease and abandon an outsider, a Jewish boy sent south to flee Occupation in the north. (An alternative story of a lost dog negated the real and non-politically correct truth of the cave’s discovery).

More time passed, and one day the trickster Iktomi walked amongst the Black Hills. At this time in history, the world was full of huge creatures. Iktomi, for fear of being trod upon by one of these creatures, hid in the bushes, here he heard a heavy breathing. He did not hear anything else indicative of one of the giant beings. This made him curious, and he looked for the source of the breathing. He found a hole, then looked down and saw people who were living underground. He called down to them to come up, but they did not want to. Finally a young man decided to see what

Vanzetti was being tried under Massachusetts' felony-murder rule, but no direct evidence had been tied Vanzetti's .38 nickel-plated Harrington & Richardson five-shot revolver to the crime scene. The only question that arouse with it was that the slain guard apparently had one identical in type and appearance, but was missing from the crime scene. No witness testified to seeing anyone take the gun. Additionally, witnesses to the payroll shooting had described Berardelli as reaching for his gun on his hip when he was cut down by pistol fire from the robbers, but his holster was empty when the body was found. There were other attempts made at proving he had stolen the gun, but not proper evidence or complete advance was able to be shown.

I am fine, how are you? I miss living in Hawaii, attending UH Hilo and discussing stuff with you, along with other things.

I am originally from a small city in the middle of Florida named Ocala. It is a family friendly city locate approximately an hour away from the beach both on the East or the West side of Florida. I spent my first eight years growing up playing on the beaches, catching lizards, and going over to friend's houses. Ocala has a strong sense of Southern hospitality and the mindset that you should always help your neighbors. Growing up in this community taught me a lot about being polite to your elders, caring about everyone, to listen the first time, and how to cook some of the best cobbler ever. I'm very proud of being raised with Southern mannerisms that set me apart for the current trend of people who only thinking about themselves. I'm thankful

So, who was Ozti the Iceman? Apparently he is the oldest known mummy of a man that was found in the Otztal Mountains of Italy, which is where his name comes from, in 1991. Otzi’s body was surprisingly well preserved when he was discovered and was thought to be a very recent carcass so scientists took him in to further study on exactly who he was. They discovered that he was 5 feet 2 inches tall, seemed to have been healthy and in shape, and had very many tattoos. The scientists have also found that Otzi comes from the Stone Age. They have also found that he was about 40 years old when he died and lived around 3,300 BCE. Learning more about Otzi has assisted in learning about the ancient world not very many people know about now.

The major flew back to Japan, March 9th,1974. The fulfilled promise first issued in 1944. "Whatever happens,we'll come back for you." After this was said by Major Taniquchi, Onoda was properly relieved of his duty and he finally surrendered. Upon his surrender he turned over his Arisaka Type 99 rifle that was still in working condition along with the 500 rounds of ammo left.

In the second chapter of this dissertation it will focus on the work of Manchester born and black artist Chris Ofili. Most known for his experimentation with elephant dung, Ofili communicates a humorous and rather stereotypical reaction to how an African man ‘should’ be painting, “You don’t exist, unless you start to build yourself up, and start to work” (Ofili 2010). There was much comment about Ofili becoming the first black contemporary artist whose name and work was known to a wider British public.

Scientific investigation has been a powerful tool in discovering the truth about the Iceman, especially with the advancements of technology, which have proved to be significant in developing our understanding of theories, both old and new, and allowing a reinterpretation of different aspects of the Otzi’s life. In particular, the extensive studies that have been conducted on the Iceman’s health have considerably shed light on the state of his well-being. This has led to the discussion of the nature of the Iceman’s occupation, which is an aspect that has been driven by the research conducted on his lifestyle. The mystery surrounding Otzi’s death has been explored, transforming theories over time, allowing us an insight on his demise. As society has been renovated by the improvements of technology, the tools used through scientific investigations applied to Otzi have provided more accuracy, allowing us to uncover the truths about the ins and outs of his health, lifestyle and death.

“We’re here?” I question, seeing a large trading town a mile away. We’ve traveled 500 miles in one month by the way. Mansa Musa replies, “Yes.” “I’ve heard of this town, it’s an Oasis town.” adds the muslim scholar. We are in silence for the short mile, and once we reach the town the camels stop, having reached their 100-mile limit for the day. The town is bustling with trading activities, I smell fruit, meat, salt, and smoke from the cooking around the trading stalls. My mouth is watering, for we have only been eating bread for the whole trip whilst the Mansa has been feasting. I pull a gold coin I packed for my trip and go to trade for a couple of apples. I ask for apples and the trader gives me five apples, split into halves, and I hand
