New Evidence In 5,300 Year Old Ice Man's Stomach Reveals More About His Murder
Otzi, the Ice Man's, story continues to fascinate people today, and new evidence (found in his stomach) reveals more about this ancient man.
A great narrative has been woven around the mysterious death of Otzi, a man found in the upper reaches of the Swiss Alps, frozen solid in the ice. It tells of a man that had been chased for miles, perhaps tens of miles, only to fall prey to an arrow in the snow and left for dead. The story is made more interesting by the fact that Otzi is 5,300 years old, and has been incredibly well-preserved within the mummifying ice of the Alps. However, Otzi’s story may be unraveling as scientists uncover new information about the contents of his stomach, and the moments before his death.
