Oetzi, the Iceman

The Iceman otherwise known as Oetzi is the world’s oldest and best preserved remains of a man who lived 5,300 years ago. The Iceman was found in 1991 by two hikers in the Tyrolean Alps. This finding has continued to puzzle scientists, but with the advancements of technology, light has been shed on some parts of the mystery. With the advancements in technology, scientists have been able to reveal many facts about the Iceman. Despite using traditional methods such as typology and observation, the latest scientific methods such as CAT Scans and DNA testing have also been used.

Oetzi’s death has puzzled scientist since the body was found, and even after considerable research scientists are still uncertain about Oetzi’s death. At first, it was believed that Oetzi died of hypothermia during a trading trip. Scientists concluded that he must have lost his way or the snow season came early and he eventually became ill and died. Wind then dried him out, and because of how his body was positioned behind, rocks he was frozen by a glacier that moved over him. This theory was believed to be right at the time since it explained what Oetzi was doing so high up in the Alps, and because there was no evidence of other injuries to him.

These new scans revealed what scientists had not previously noticed; there was a flint arrow head embedded beneath Oetzi’s left shoulder. This new discovery led to a completely new investigation and an entirely new theory on Oetzi’s death. The arrow head ended up 6 cm beneath Oetzi’s

From conflicts with racism to losing the love of his life, Courtenay ends up almost a shell of himself, but ends up reconciling with his past. Some of These Days was an excellent play…
