Otzi the Iceman

Otzi the Iceman is a mummy from the Copper Age found in 1991 in Austria. He was accidently found by hikers with his clothes and equipment still with him. Over centuries ago, Otzi was passing through Tisenjoch/Giogo di Tisa in the Schnalstal/Val Senales Valley, South Tyrol, when he was murdered and preserved in ice. If you think about it, he’s older than Stonehenge and the one teacher you think cowrote the Roman laws and tutored Aristotle. I mean, he’s pretty old.

Ötiz was a great scientific discovery. He provided information about the stone age. He was found in 1991 by hikers who were climbing the mountains that straddle Austria and Italy. There are many theories about how the iceman died. But many of the the evidence points to human sacrifice. In my essay I will giving you the reason I think he was killed in a human sacrifice.

Otzi is a mummified body that was found near the Otzal apes. It was preserved in the ice. Otzi is one of the only preserved bodies that is almost completely preserved. Even after all of that time he had no special treatment to help preserve. It was preserved for about 5,300 years. He was found in 1991 by a couple of tourists on the Italian/Austrian border.

Otzi the iceman was discovered in Italy, his 5,300 year-old corpses were found between the border of Austria and Italy. The Narrabeen man was found in 2005 in the Sydney basin next to a bus stop.

Scientists and archeologists have studied Otzi, “The Iceman,” for years but because of the outpouring of evidence above they have concluded that Otzi was a thief stealing wheat was shot in the back by a hunter that was defending his people and resources. The startling discovery of Otzi has presented the scientific community a portal into which they shall hopefully discover more about early hominids and what life for those that came before us. We here at Boyle Post look forward to learning more about ancient peoples because learning about our past can drastically change our

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 last piece of evidence is the fact the Ötzi was found on the top of a mountain. I think he was all the way on the top to get away from the enemy and avoid the battle that was about to happen. He also knew the trail the best so it would be easier to lose track of the people following him. He might have been up and down the mountain to confuse them.The evidence to support it is that there were multiple layers of seeds from the rees in that

both the tribe and his clan member (the killer) were nowhere to be seen. According to specialist Edgar working on this case he states “My only hypothesis” he tells me later, “is that for whatever reason, Oetzi thought he would be safer in the mountain than in the valley.” This “fake” sense of security allowed Oetzi to let his guard down . Based on the food recovered from Oetzi’s body was a large meal meaning he rested for a while to eat this great meal. In doing this Oetzi leaves himself in a vulnerable position, along with the pure harsh weather, no allies, and fatigue from previous travel it left Oetzi in a very bad

Otzi, the 5,300 year old Iceman that was found on September 19th, 1991 was brutally killed in battle on a mountain. This theory is correct for many reasons including the injuries and where they are, how severe the injuries were, and more. It is also correct because in an article it had said “showed his death was violent, not the result of drowning, hypothermia or a fall.” proving other theorems incorrect. There were also two wounds in the Iceman’s right hand as well as his right wrist. We know this because the archeologists had said “he was stabbed while trying to defend himself with a dagger against an attacker” and if Otzi was really using a dagger then the attacker must have been closer and would not have had to use an arrow. There also

In this report I am discussing the mystery of Otzi, a perfectly preserved body of a 5000 year old man and how and why he died.

In 1991 two hikers found a frozen body in a mountain pass in the Alps, on the Italian-Austrian border in Europe. This brave leader who lived about 5,000 years ago didn’t know that he would be an important clue to how people lived in the past.

Otzi the Iceman was discovered by Helmut and Erika Simon in 1991 in the Otz Valley Alps . He is the oldest intact body known to the archaeological community. The body wasn't initially recognized as an Archaeological discovery. The body was extremely well preserved, as it was entombed within the ice of the glacier, shielding it from natural elements that could compromise the condition of his remains. Not knowing that the discovery was going to such a pivotal find for the field of archaeology, nor there being an assumption that it was remains of a potential crime scene, those first on the scene initially began employing crude, potentially damaging means to excavate the body , including the use of pick axes pneumatic drills, and even ski poles. The site and its artifacts was initially thought to belong to Austria, though a topographical survey found that Otzi was discovered

Archeologists have unearthed a bog body in an Irish peat bog that dates back to the bronze age. Waterlogged conditions of European bogs created a highly acidic envoirment that allowed bogs to preserve thousands of bog bodies. Most bodies tended to stay intact for 2,000 years. What makes the Irish peat bog so special is that the body found was 4,000 years old! This particular bog was found in the Irish county of Laois by a resident who was mining the bog for its oil when he noticed he had hit something. He looked to see what he had hit, and discovered the ancient, and well-preserved, bog body. He didn't know what is was, so he notified The Museum of Ireland. The museum didn't know what it was either, so they had it x-rayed and discovered

On behalf of the other men Obierika explains to the district commissioner our cultural traditions. He explains what we already know about suicide. He tells the white man that suicide is a sin and the clansmen may cannot touch Okonkwo’s body. The District Commissioner asks why they cannot do it themselves, and our men simply explain that his body is evil now and that only strangers are allowed touch it. Witnesses tell us that Obierika begins to lash out on the commissioner, and blames him for Okonkwo’s death. It was very obvious Obierika was distraught over the death of his friend and this may caused him to show this kind of temper. However the commissioner decides to honor the group’s request, but he leaves and orders his men to do the work

The oldest human being we have found her name was Lucy, she lived around 3.7 million years ago. She was discovered in 1974 in Ethiopia by a man named Donald Johanson. Lucy is named after a then popular song in 1974 “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” - The Beatles. What scientists are wondering about Lucy is that she has the skull of a gorilla. She had a smushed face, flat nose, and a big jaw. With humans
