Up until March of 2001 all of the trash from New York burrows was dispersed in one area. This resulted in 11 thousand tons of garbage a day creating a mountain of 180ft (about 18 stories high). That is now a large mountain where this podcast begins. This use to be the biggest dump, but now it is getting turned into a park, with restaurants and a golf course. Underneath it all, the garbage will all still be there. Fifty years of trash underneath all new development. The history contained in this garbage is a giant time capsule.
In 1898 in Oxrhychus, Egypt two Oxford graduates; Grenfell and Hunt were looking for treasures and they found sand dunes. They hired a team of workers and began to dig. Obink tells us what they found. A motherlode of …show more content…
Suddenly they were stopped by a corpse in the ice. The figure’s top half was sticking out while his legs and torso was buried in the ice. Found with unusual items, as the body was pulled from the ice, the police figured that this wasn’t a twentieth century explorer, but instead an OLD body. Really, really, old; 5,300 years old. Almost everything was perfectly freeze dried. The man was a 5’2 tall with a physical appearance similar to a modern Olympic wrestler. Dr. Paul Gostener spotted that by Otzi’s shoulder blade, there was a stone arrow head jabbed into him, this quickly become a murder mystery. In a CT scan there was an orbital fracture of the cranium on top of several other wounds. Trying to piece everything together, they found that there was a lot more to this story. They found pollen in his intestines. That suggests that during June Otzi was higher in the mountains above tree lines. He often went back down south of the mountain to his village (a long way down). Within a span of 24 hours a violent act happened in the village and was getting attacked. As he defended himself, he gets deeply cut. He heads back up the mountain with arrows, while bleeding for well over a day. Scientist find that Otzi was then hit by an arrow which in turn caused cardiac arrest and he blead to death. He died within 20 minutes. Whoever killed Otzi pulled the arrow out, and picked up a stone
