The Discovery Of Human History

One Spanish official remarked that “the maxim of the conqueror must be to settle.” Explain what you think he meant by this statement. Illustrate the various ways conquerors settled the New World, commenting on what worked, what did not work, and the consequences of those methods

Though the intensive study of the body and the possessions found with it; various aspects (i.e. diet, appearance, weapons, clothing, cultural practices and rituals) of the time in which Ötzi lived can be uncovered and furthermore understood. The Iceman Ötzi provides us with an exceptional insight into appearance and lifestyle of a Copper Age man living in the Alps over 5,000 years ago.

And then transitioned to the Neolithic with the sculpture of the women and the physical remains of the Otzi caveman. The sculpture showed how they expressed and recorded their ways through art and Otzi showed how important personal items were.

QUESTIONS: Otzi the iceman was found in the Otzal alps on the Austrian–Italian border (that how he got his name Otzi) While Narrabeen man as found near the bus stop North of Sydney. Otzi died 5,300 years ago and the Narrabeen man died 4,000 years ago so Otzi’s body is more older than the Narrabeen man’s body. They both died with some hurtful physical contact Otzi died from him being sacrificed

Evidence of tattoos is found not only on mummies or in text, but on the objects left behind by ancient civilizations.

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

Everything about Otzi fascinated scientists and historians. His stomach revealed his last meal of deer, ibix, spelt bread and some vegetables. He was aged between 40 and 53, an impressive age for this period. His copper axe a ‘Remedello Axe’ was thought to have been first used much later than Otzi’s time. This discovery changed the dates of the Copper Age by a 1000 years. One observer

In this paper, I will be outlining the costs and benefits of social and technological fixes, and then I will be assessing the use of social and technological fixes of air pollution through the use of automobiles.

In 1991 two German hikers found a body stuck in the ice of Italian mountains. When the body was first found they thought that he was just another victim of a hiking accident. After further investigation, they concluded that he wasn’t just another body, but in fact a 5,300 year old mummy. The mummy was named Ötzi after the Ötztal Alps where he was found. Although scientists know how he was killed, they are still speculating why he was murdered. Scientists do know that he was killed by a 24 inch arrow in his back that caused him to go into cardiac arrest. The arrow was shot from 30 yards with 50 pounds of force. There are many theories on why he was killed. One theory is that he was sacrificed but there is one major flaw in that theory. The

Otzi the iceman is a well-preserved natural mummy of a Neolithic man from the new stone ages. In 1991 two German hikers took a shortcut in Italy's Otzal Alps, and left the footpath. While passing a shallow gulley, they discovered a brown shape on the bottom and, with closer inspection, they realized with horror that they had discovered a human corpse. Researchers later discovered that the mummified corpse dated back to around 3300 BCE—making it the world's oldest known intact mummy.

Due to his belongings laid out in the order they were I suspect that his death may have been religious. If it were a murder the killer would not have spent time on placing his belongings out, because he would have left in fear of being discovered. There is not much information on the neolithic era and “The Iceman” is a huge factor of the little we do know. The mountains that “Otzi” was found on are very difficult to climb and most do not come back alive. With this information we can conclude that

For my summer assignment for AP U.S history I had to read the novel, A People’s History of the United States. This novel is a nonfictional literary work that was written by the American historian, playwright, and social activist named Howard Zinn. In this novel, Zinn attempts to present American history through the viewpoint of the common people rather than the conquerors and the economical and political elite. The chapters that I had to read from this book were chapters 1 through 10. The chapters were very informative and it allowed me to revisit major events in American History. Therefore; prior to reading this novel, the three events that stood out to me were the Arawak Indians that encountered Columbus, the enslavement of African Americans

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

Alyrus, Wright, and Merbs of the Anthropology Department and Centre for Solid State Science at Arizona State University explain how infa-red reflectography can be used to enhance the visibility of tattoos on mummified remains. To illustrate their findings, they use three 2,000-year-old tattoos found on separate mummies from the site of Semna South in Sudanese Nubia. Their work is a continuation of other researchers’ use of infa-red photography to study mummified tattoos, and they reference the work of N. Kromann, G.S. Smith and M.R. Zimmerman. The writing of this article provides a straight forward and factual overview of the uses of infa-red lighting for the examination of ancient tattoos while in the lab or the field. Due to the dissection and decomposition of tissue, it is an essential method when mapping and describing tattoos on mummified remains.
