QR Challenge: Iceman History Mystery

QuestionAnswer
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
