When Did Otzi Die

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.

Found in the Alps between Austria and Italy in 1991 Ötzi’s death has been a mystery for years. When they first saw the mummy, they thought it was a modern day hiker that died of hypothermia, however as scientists came in they concluded that it was a mummy a 5,300 year old mummy, that was freeze-dried by the freezing weather. No matter what they did, they could not figure out how the once-alive man died.

He is a Christian man who believes in doing what he thinks Jesus would have done. Otsu carries the outcasts to the River Ganges so they could die and be cremated. An elderly woman wasn’t going to make it so Otsu, “From his bag he took an Indian-style sling he had woven from rope, wrapped her frail body in it, and lifted her on to his back” (Endo 193). Otsu thought it was more important to help this woman to the river than being considered an outcast. His nature was to help this woman who couldn’t do it herself.

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.

A significant character shown in this passage is Obierika. Though a minor character, Okonkwo’s close friend demonstrates importance because of his many doubts and questions of some of the tribe’s traditional system, this shows a possibility of Obierika being a spokesperson for Achebe. He is a foil to Okonkwo, because Okonkwo has the desire for the most part to embrace the traditions and view of masculinity, while Obierika "was a man who thought about things" and sometimes questioned the ways of the clan. Another opposite decision he makes compared to Okonkwo is in the killing of Ikemefuna, in which he refuses to accompany them. He is more understanding towards women, thoughtful, and has no love for unnecessary violence. "Why should a man suffer so grievously for an offense he had committed inadvertently? But although he thought for a long time he found no answer." He worries because Okonkwo is a close friend of his, and he has a fit skepticism of the traditional ways and is more adaptable to change then Okonkwo, thus, they almost balance each other out, but Okonkwo repeatedly shows resistance towards Obierika’s reasoning. When questioning Okonkwo’s exile he is reminded of a tragedy of his own. "He remembered his wife’s children, whom he had thrown

His tragic downfall truly begins when his is sent away because of an accidental murder of a boy. Okonkwo and his family are exiled from the tribe for seven years and Okonkwo is stripped of the fruits of his hard work. While he is away the white missionaries move into the village. They preach against the culture and its violent ways, causing Okonkwo to become saturated with rage. Seven years later, Okonkwo is able to return. He plans to reestablish himself and his position with the help of his family. However, Umofia is not as it once was. The white men have moved in and dismantled the tribe with their laws and government. Okonkwo wishes to fight, but the clan does not agree with his suggestion. After realizing the fate of the village, Okonkwo chooses to take his life. He would rather die than watch everything he had worked for fall apart because of weak people. His tragic flaw, a fear of weakness, is so strong it destroyed him.

After delivering the message about the disloyal ronins who had harassed him, Taro became Akiyama's messenger and befriended Yoshitoki, a young samurai. At age 15, he was sent with Yoshitoki to carry a message to Tsutsujigasaki Castle. On the way, they escaped from two bandits disguised as monks.

One might suggest that Unoka and Okonkwo are foil characters, their differences highlight their similarities. Okonkwo starts at the bottom of society, but when he beats Amalinze the Cat (the previous best wrestler of the nine villages), his life quickly changes for the better to become a powerful figure in his village, next to the sacred elders, who are at the top of society. After white missionaries colonize Okonkwo’s village, he continually denies the fact that his people allow the drastic change of their cultural roots, which eventually drives him to kill himself. After fighting his whole life not to be like his father, his death is a cowardly one to his people, and he is not allowed a proper burial. In a

Oannes, as referred to by the Greeks, was a respected figure in ancient Mesopotamia with two heads—one of a fish and one of a man, and both a tail and human legs. Freaky, huh? In ancient Babylonian mythology, he was said to provide humans with knowledge, religious counsel and the arts. Some ancient alien theorists believe he might be historical evidence of an otherworldly presence on
