Introduction to the Iceman.


Otzi the Iceman is the modern nickname of a well-preserved natural mummy of a man believed to of died about 5300 years ago. He was aged in his forties when he died and roughly 5”2 inches tall.
Perfect weather conditions allowed for the mummification of the mans body; sun and wind dried out his body, rocks formed a trench around him which prevented water from washing his body away forever. He would be discovered in the same position he died in, over 5000 years later.
