    In the fall of 1991, two hikers in the Ötztal Alps discovered the mummified remains of a 5,300-year-old man. Now preserved in a climate-controlled freezer at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Italy, the mummy known as Ötzi the Iceman and his possessions provide a window into life in prehistoric Europe. Join Amanda McBrien at the DNA Learning Center to view the world’s first replica of Ötzi the Iceman and to see what Ötzi’s body, DNA, and belongings tell us about Neolithic people.
    In this DNALC Live session, you will:
    • Observe the life-size replica of Ötzi the Iceman and learn how the replica was produced
    • Explore what Ötzi’s DNA reveals about his traits, health, and relationship to modern people
    • Discuss the artifacts found near Ötzi’s body and learn what they tell us about prehistoric life
    Presenter: Amanda McBrien, DNA Learning Center
    Audience: General Audience

      They would say .... definitely a donkey human hybrid. Amazing 😆 seriously it would be great that's the closest to eternal life we will get. My guess is he either knew his killer as a fellow member of the tribe since his arrow shaft was removed which would be hard to do in that position of his back by himself or he was part of a hunting party and was wiped out by a bigger tribe but I would say he knew his killer as it's very strange his weapons, clothes and valuables were not taken suggesting he killed the other person in the fight as he had injuries to his hands or he knew them and they didn't want any evidence from the encounter. Probably a tribe take over from a younger member looking to move into his position of leader.

    “CAT Scan” … the moment those two words were said I was instantly transported back 30, or so, years in time. I was a student nurse and we were learning about the science behind X-Rays, MRI’s and CAT Scans etc
    One of the students in our small group could always be counted on to ask goofy questions that were either easily answered or self explanatory. Well, she stepped up to the plate, took aim and hit a dinger out of the park. “Why do they call it a CAT Scan?”, she asked.
    I couldn’t stop myself. It just came out. “They call it a CAT Scan in honor of Egyptian doctors”, I told her. Egyptians held cats in high regard. The doctors would have the person lay down on a table in front of them.
    Here’s the convincer:
    The priest/doctor would ick up a cat, start at the persons head and slowly pass the cat over the body. The cat would hiss or meow or whatever when it passed over the area causing the person issues. Kinda like how a CAT Scan works.

That very persistent tracker caught up with him as he was resting after meal (and propably maintaining his gear) and gave chase.

    I always thought it was strange that he had such well made gear, clothing and tools. If he was murdered and died within 5 minutes of the arrow hitting him or so, being chased. His gear alone would have been so incredibly valuable for his time, the fact that it wasn't stolen or taken from his body always made me wonder. Not taking such valuable items during this time period is very telling to me.
    Maybe he managed to get far enough away from his attacker, so that they stopped giving chase or lost track of him.
    Or that maybe he knew his killer, and they couldn't take his stuff because maybe they would be recognized by other people they both knew or lived with and the crime would have been uncovered.

      Everyone could make their own gear in those days. None of it was necessarily valuable. Even the copper axe head was smelted by Otzi himself.
