Question | Answer |
In 1991, a pair of hikers in the Otztal Alps along the Austrian-Italian border discovered a man's body | |
The body was located extremely high up in the mountains at 10,500 ft | |
When the body was discovered, it was half-buried in the ice | |
Many mountaineers die in this area from falls and other accidents | |
The body had no hair, fingernails, or skin | |
Next to the body were bits of leather, string, and rolled-up birch bark | |
The body was missing its twelfth pair of ribs | |
Strangely the body had not been touched by predators like wolves or eagles | |
The body was covered with strange tattoos in the form of groups of lines and crosses | |
High levels of arsenic- a poisonous substance- were found in the hair from the body | |
The body had a number of fractured ribs at the time of death | |
The body was situated in a gully between two large walls of rock | |
Excavations uncovered a broken longbow and a bearskin cap | |
Of the two fingernails found, both showed he had suffered stressful illnesses leading up to his death | |
Analysis of Otzi's intestinal contents showed two meals, one of which was consumed about 2 hours before his death | |
In 2001, x-rays and a CT scan revealed the Otzi had an arrowhead lodged in his left shoulder when he died | |
Although the arrow remained in his back, the shaft was no where to be found | |
An ax was found with the body which appeared to be made of iron |
