Otzi the Iceman PBS NOVA Iceman Murder Mystery 2011. YouTube, 16 Feb. 2013. Web. 23 Oct. 2016. Jessica Alcala Professor Patrick O’ Neil Anthropology Introduction: In September 1991, a pair of hikers wandered off the trail in the Italian Alps discovered a frozen body laying on a rock. The body was later confirmed by experts to be the preserved body of a man who was about five thousand years old during the the time of the Neolithic era. The man was named “Otzi” after the mountains in where he was discovered, he is considered to be one of the first and only most preserved human body with no signs of decomposition with skin, eyeballs and organs still intact. Otzi is one of the most important preserved mummy with many scholars…

The Iceman, also called Ötzi, is a mummy from the Stone Ages who was discovered by hikers, Erika and Helmut Simon in the Alps in the late 1900s. The Iceman when he was found was stuck in a glacier called the Niederjoch Glacier. This glacier is part of what kept the Iceman preserved for so long. He is one of the oldest mummies in the world, at about 5,300 years old and he lived around 3300 BCE. When the Iceman was first discovered, he was thought to have died of natural causes. This was thought…

The first piece of physical evidence of ancient civilization I want to discuss is Otzi the Iceman. In September of 1991, hikers in the Ötztal Alps stumbled on a body that was still partially frozen in a glacier. The Body was made discoverable due to climate changes forcing the glacier to melt. The hikers originally thought that they had found an unfortunate hiker who had disappears just a few decades ago. The hikers were baffled when they were told that the body they had found was thousands of…

The Iceman better known as Otzi, was found buried within the ice of the Alps in the 1990’s. Ever since then people have tried to come up with theories for how Oetzi was murdered over 5,000 years ago. He lived at the end of the Ice age, and the beginning of the stone age. Otzi was five feet two inches tall and around forty to fifty years old. He had been a person of large significance during his time. Now in the 21st century we might have a clue as to why he died. Otzi died after retreating from…

Otzi The Iceman is one of the oldest known natural European mummy’s that is extremely well preserved. He was found on September 19th, 1991 by two German hikers in the Otzal Alps. He was named after the place where he was found. When he was first found, people thought he was only 500 years old until scientists found out that he was from 3300BCE, more than 5000 years old. No one really knows how old he was, but most people think he was around 40-50 years old. There are many different theories on…

Tragic Demise of the Iceman Ötzi the iceman existed in Neolithic times more than 5,000 years ago, on the Italian side of the Tisenjoch mountain. That same mountain would later be, unbeknownst to him, the scene of his tragic death. The unbelievable way that the iceman’s body was preserved by the mountain’s cold temperatures after his death has led to incredible scientific discoveries about the time period. Intense research has been conducted on the body to find out details on the life of a…

yellow pollen of the hornbeam blossoms fell like an invisible rain, salting the water and food he consumed when he stopped to rest. Five thousand years later, the Neolithic hunter we call the Iceman would still bear traces of this ancient dusting inside his body—a microscopic record of the time of year it was when he passed through this forest and into the nearby mountains, where fate would finally catch up with him. Since hikers discovered his mummified corpse in 1991 in a rocky hollow high in…

On a snowy mountain top, two hikers found a body sticking out of a glacier, the Iceman. Some archaeologists say he died in battle and some say from hypothermia, but no one knows the real cause of his death. The Iceman was a mummy, whose body remained preserved for 5,000 years in a glacier in the Alps. When he was found, his items from the Stone Age were laid around him. They found unfinished arrows, backpack, a copper axe, hay stuffed shoes, a dagger, and a phannie pack like pouch on his waist.…

The Analysis of X-Men and how it relates to Disabilities The portrayal of many superheroes in movies, comic books, and TV shows are empowered by real world diseases, accidents, and disabilities inflicted upon them. X-Men is the apotheosis by which exceptional individuals, both heroes and villains, obtain their powers. These movie characters, who possess various extraordinary abilities, are comparable to the multiple individuals with disabilities, in that they both are regarded and viewed…

Ethics, morality, and basic human nature. All things that make the human race, human. It’s easy to say what exactly is right and wrong. But it’s harder to act upon those set rules. They’re more like guidelines. Guidelines that humans acknowledge and either choose to follow, or ignore. Each person on this planet has their own idea of these notions of thinking. When somebody writes a character in a story, it’s likely that that character will reflect their own ideals and morals. But, what if they…
