The mysterious death of the Ice

In 1991, on the old glacier of the Alpes Mountains between the border of Austria and Italy, it was discovered that a man's body dates back to 5300 years. Because the discovery site is located in the Oetzi ravine (Auz), the prehistoric man was named "The Ice Man". Scientists have conducted a number of very expensive studies on this finding.

Professor Aug - Ancient human scientist of Innsbruck University - Austria discovered, Oetzi is the best preserved prehistoric human body today. They found the pollen grains of the Hubet horn tree intact in the gut of prehistoric people. The plant only blooms in the spring and grows in areas of lower elevation. Thus, Oetzi prehistoric people can be guessed to die in the spring or early summer. In addition, Oetzi's skin analysis, scientists found, Oetzi's body before becoming an ice man had to soak in the water for several weeks to ten weeks.

Professor Aug's discovery led many people to question previous predictions about the cause of Oetzi's prehistoric death. Previously, scientists thought that prehistoric people encountered unexpected snowstorms in the fall, eventually dying because of the cold climate.

This new evidence also made the researchers re-consider Oetzi prehistoric people why they are at the top of the high mountain. Some researchers have speculated, Oetzi was brought up here to serve as a sacrifice of prehistoric people in the Neolithic era. However, Professor Aug's remarks are not so far-fetched: "We can confirm that within 12 hours before his death, Oetzi had fallen asleep at the bottom of the ravine - the place where the Hornet-horned tree Oetzi often go to sleep everyday ".

Prehistoric people wore hats and legs covered in sheepskin, and on top of them were three layers of clothes sewn with deer skin, sheepskin and bark. Beside Oetzi's remains, a bronze ax and a bag full of arrows were placed.

The prehistoric Oetzi was 1.62m high, when he was about 50 years old. The research team led by Professor Aug has proved that prehistoric people in Oetzi suffer from respiratory infections, in the body of humans with parasites. A few months before the accident, Oetzi had three serious illnesses each time. From the content of copper and arsenic, it remains in very high hair, which makes scientists judge, he used to practice copper. All these judgments make the mystical death of Oetzi even more confusing. So far, the truth of the matter has not been clarified.
