Ötzi the Iceman: What we know 3 decades after his discovery

Considered "Europe’s most famous mummy," the remains of the man who was murdered in the Alps 5,000 years ago continue to reveal details of Neolithic life—and insights into modern health.

If it’s the same mummy, I just saw on a documentary that he had Lymes disease. It was a 5000 year old mummy preserved in a glacier. He was murdered and found in the Alps I believe.

Otzi the Iceman was balding, middle aged, and dark-skinned » Explorersweb

New DNA analysis suggests that Otzi the Iceman looked very different than scientists previously thought, with dark skin and a receding hairline.

That's great. Cory.

The on going story about Otzi keeps getting better... the "ice man"

I see it as one of the most revealing archeological finds in my time.

Besides just perfecting the tools needed for survival people in that time, around the world, man was already predicting the movement of the planets and stars.

How fast we have evolve.
