The Iceman
The Iceman was given the named Ötzi since he was
discovered in the Oztal Alps between Austria and
Italy.
5
Ötzi carried with him a twin cutting edged
dagger. This tells us he was not only a skilled
craftsman but also knew what materials to use.
He probably used this to skin animals, clean
hides, and strip meat.
The most amazing discovery was when a copper ax
was found near the Icemans body. It was
believed that the copper age began about 4000
years ago. This discovery shows copper at 5000
years ago.
6
The Iceman was found nude. However, he had with
him three layers of finally stitched clothing.
A bear hat, grass cloak, and leather around his
shoes were all amazing items found near Ötzi.
This is the most concrete evidence we have from
that time period about clothing.
7
The quiver contained unusable arrows. He had
only two arrows with heads but even these arrows
were broken. There was a total of 14 arrows. He
was also working on making a bow.
Scientists believed that these markings were
tattoos. They feel they made the markings as an
early form of acupuncture. It was believed that
acupuncture began 2000 years ago. If they are
correct, then acupuncture began much earlier than
previously thought.
