The mummy was shortly given the nickname Otzi, after the mountain ridge from where he was found. He was identified as belonging to the Neolithic or Copper age, making him older than the invention of the wheel. Otzi’s body and clothing were able to show living proof

I would speak to Otzi the man who has befuddled historians since 1990. Otzi was by any measure an average man but in death he became a singularity. He is now a window into distant past. Otzi was a Copper Age man who, after he died, was swallowed up by a glacier and preserved until 1990. He was so well preserved the people who found him rang the local police. Everything about Otzi fascinated scientists and historians. His stomach revealed his last meal of deer, ibix, spelt bread and some vegetables

Otzi the iceman was a man who was found in 1991 near the border of Austria and Italy while the Narrabeen man is a 5,300 BCE old skeleton that was found in Sydney near a bus stop. Otzi the iceman died by Exsanguination and was preserved by being covered by snow which turned into ice which kept the body together and the Narrabeen man may of died by 3 spears lodged in the spine, the head and the kidney and the Narrabeen man was preserved by being buried in the ground.

During the third and fourth millenia BC, food was procured mainly from farming and animal rearing.Among the plants that were cultivated were naked wheat, einkorn, emmer wheat, barley, poppy, flax and peas. The domesticated animals – cattle, pigs, sheep and goats – were mainly used as sources of meat but also provided leather, sinews, milk and possibly wool.The livestock, especially sheep and goats, were driven to high grazing land in the summer. This form of agriculture is known as transhumance.

What is the actual cause of Otzi the Iceman’s death? Using information from different websites I was able to get different theories from different archaeologists and forensic radiologists to help me decide how Otzi died. Otzi was found in September 19, 1991 in a large gully in the Otzal Alps by two hikers. The hikers thought it was a body of a hiker that died recently and they contacted the police immediately. It took five days to recover the body due to the bad weather and tough conditions. Due

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.
