It hit a main artery and he probably bled to death within minutes.
High in a remote area of the Oetztaler Alps in northern Italy, 5,300 years ago, Oetzi the Iceman was shot in the back with an arrow.
Likewise, people ask, how did Otzi the Iceman die? Ötzi's sudden death in the ice has preserved him virtually unchanged for thousands of years, giving us a snapshot of the routine life of a Copper Age man. Four thin, black lines, stacked on top of each other, bring the total number of tattoos on Ötzi, a 5,300-year- old mummified iceman, to 61, according to an exhaustive new study.Īdditionally, what is so special about Otzi the Iceman? Ötzi is the world's oldest wet mummy, and the clothes he wore and equipment he carried are unique. The 61 lines that make up the tattoos on Ötzi, a 5,300-year- old iceman found in the Italian Alps in 1991. It was later confirmed that “ Otzi the Iceman” (as he was dubbed by an Austrian journalist in reference to the site of his discovery in the Ötztal valley Alps), had died sometime between 33 B.C., making him, at about 5,300 years old, the oldest preserved human being ever found.Īlso question is, how old is Otzi the Iceman and where are his tattoos?
