Many strange findings when dissecting the last Otzi ice cream meal

Archaeologists have studied the otzi mummy stored in the Italian city of Bolzano to determine the final meal information of the villain. Turns out, about 30-120 minutes before he died, Otzi ate alpine goat meat (Capra ibex).

According to The Local, before that, when analyzing the composition of substances stored in the human intestines, researchers found pieces of venison and cereal grains. These foods are eaten at least 4 hours before Otzi is killed.

Before dying, the Otzi gangs ate alpine goat meat (Capra ibex).

In 2011, scientists reanalyzed the tomography images created six years earlier and found traces of venison and cereal in the stomach. During the process of natural mummification, the stomach was shifted and scientists did not discover it.

From the stomach, people have collected pieces of meat fiber and tested DNA to show that they belong to the Alps . It was the ice man's last meal.

Researcher Albert Zink of the European Academy based in Bolzano said the meat was dry and never under heat treatment. This is because the fibers are still intact. Cheese and other dairy products are not found in Otzi stomach. Scientists think Otzi brought meat to eat along the way.

Recall that the Otzi body was found by climbers in September 1991 on the glacier border between Italy and Austria. Scientists have identified this person as about 5,300 years ago.

Now the ice body is stored in the Institute L'Istituto per le mummie e l'Iceman was founded in 2007. The band named Otzi is named after the name of the OTZ valley , near where it was found.

Thanks to their intact preservation, the scientists understood a lot about the origin, health status, living conditions and specific circumstances that caused the death of the ice.
