Otzi had 57 tattoos, after a proper examination of his body specialist can assume that his tattoos were a form of treatment or acupuncture. Although…

Why was he murdered? How was he murdered? What happened? Those are all questions trying to be answered.

In the fall of 1991, a man was discovered and was pulled out of the ice along the Ötztal Alps, in South Tyrol, Italy. Only later investigation revealed that this man was around 5,000 years old, and had also been murdered.

Ice Man After reviewing other students post and informative writing pieces Iv came to A final conclusion on how Otzi got to the top of the mountain in his final moments. I believe that early in the morning Iceman Otzi and his hunting partner headed out to gather food for their tribe. He grabbed his hunting knife, quiver and cloak and headed into the northmost part of the woods. They journeyed 4 miles before reaching a stream that had a small deer drinking from it.

I don’t believe he died from this illness since he does not…
