Found in the Alps between Austria and Italy in 1991 Ötzi’s death has been a mystery for years. When they first saw the mummy, they thought it was a modern day hiker that died of hypothermia, however as scientists came in they concluded that it was a mummy a 5,300 year old mummy, that was freeze-dried by the freezing weather. No matter what they did, they could not figure out how the once-alive man died. One of the first things scientists found were the wounds, hands had deep cuts, arrow head in his left shoulder which hit the subclavian artery, head wounds, four broken ribs (however this may have not happened before, or when he died.), broken fingers, and possibly suffered from whipworms (CT scan showed this, it found eggs of Whipworms in his colon). Autopsies gave more clues about his health, for example, some of his fingernails and toenails were missing however out of the ones found they saw that he had been sick three times before death this was mentioned in “ÖTZI, THE ICEMAN” (by Jeffrey Hays, Subtitle: Iceman’s Health). They also found out that his lungs were those of a smoker and could’ve been caused by living in an open house. …show more content…
In total he had 61 tattoos that were on his wrists, ankles, and other areas on the body and they are all the oldest tattoos that have been found, according to @smithsonian (subtitle: Determining the Age of Tattoos). Some of the tattoos were lines on the body that might have some religious meaning. The tattoos were possibly made by putting the ash underneath the skin with a wooden needle. The tattoos were mostly located in places where Ötzi had cartilage damage or joint discomfort which could be for pain relief which is also mentioned in “What we learned from Ötzi the Iceman” (@csm_michelle, Subtitle:
Otzi the iceman died by Exsanguination, a process of blood loss. After having an arrow speared through the shoulder while The Narrabeen man died by three spears lodged into his spine.
Otzi the iceman was a man who was found in 1991 near the border of Austria and Italy while the Narrabeen man is a 5,300 BCE old skeleton that was found in Sydney near a bus stop. Otzi the iceman died by Exsanguination and was preserved by being covered by snow which turned into ice which kept the body together and the Narrabeen man may of died by 3 spears lodged in the spine, the head and the kidney and the Narrabeen man was preserved by being buried in the ground. Some of the Interpretations of otzi the iceman is that he may of suffered from brain damage before death, the brain damage could of caused the death not the arrow wound, after finding two dark areas on his skeleton and the Narrabeen man might have been aboriginal because he had
It was thought to be summer when he died because of the pollen and leaves in Otzi's containers scientists discovered near Otzi's body. At first, people thought that Otzi had an accident in the mountains but it was found in 2001 an x-ray showed an arrowhead in his left shoulder. Because the arrow is hit his subclavian artery because of that he fell to the ground he suffered severe head injuries. Because of all that he bled to death within a few minutes. There is evidence saying that Otzi was involved in a fight with possibly the attackers that might have tried to murder him this evidence is supported by the facts that there was a deep cut to his right hand. If he was murdered historians believe that he was murdered by one or more
In the story Ender’s Game there is a boy named Ender Wiggin, he is a very smart child who is accepted into battle school. Where Ender is from they are not allowed to have more than two kids. Ender’s parents signed a contract saying they can have a third child, so Ender basically belongs to the government. Then Ender has to go to battle to fight the buggers. Once he defeated all the buggers he was know as a hero. In the book, Ender’s Game, there are many similarities and differences.
Otzi the iceman, a figure whose body has been preserved in the ice of the Alps has unveiled the secrets to copper-aged life and from the evidence found, i have come to the conclusion that Otzi died because he was in combat with two other people who were trying to take him for a sacrifice. Otzi had slits on his wrist, a punctured thumb, a damaged wrist bone, and a ½ inch deep zigzag cut in his right hand.Otzi also had a dagger in the hand with the zigzag cut. From this evidence, we can tell that he was in hand to hand combat and that his opponent was very close to him. Another piece of evidence that was found with Otzi was pollen in his lungs from the top of the mountain and from thine bottom. This pollen proved that
Unfortunately he died 4000 years ago, in 2000 BCE by 3 types of spears. The first one from the front, cut the intestine including the kidney, the second spear was thrown behind his spine and the third spear bounce off the skull.
Otzi the “Iceman” was struck with an arrow in the back and was hit or hit his head on a rock and suffered a serious blow to the head by someone he knew. MRI scans show that he was shot with an arrow and was lodged in his back. This shows he was being followed and shot in the back then the killer pulled the arrow from his back. The Iceman had blood clots in his brain that suggest he suffered a blow to the head which could have been deadly shown by an MRI scan as a strange anomaly. This explains why his head was on a rock and how he could have potentially died. Otzi was found with fresh opened wounds and scars on his hands. This could mean that Otzi had been in hand to hand combat with someone he knew. The evidence shows that Otzi was killed
Is being smart being dumb. In a way that doesn’t sound right. In reality this can be true in a away. This is possible by trying to be smart, but you really are just out thinking yourself. I believe that Vizzini’s arrogance led him to his death. I believe this because he was saying stuff like “Time for me to outsmart you know”, “You should never face a Sicilian in a wit battle”, and things of that nature. By saying this he is being arrogant. After saying this he is now faced by his death, when his opponent beats him.
Soon after his body was pulled from the river the extent of his injuries was discovered. His body upon retrieval was badly bloated from the death and decay of being submerged in the water for several days before he was found.
Number Seven: And Winston. Winston Churchill also got a tattoo. His was an anchor on his forearm, so maybe he crossed the Atlantic Ocean. His mom’s was even better though, she had a snake around her wrists.
The history of tattooing date back to the first man, Otzi, in 3300 B.C. who was found frozen in the Alps (Nat-A-Tat2) and the history piercing date back to different primitive tribes for their beliefs (Tribu). Scientists say that the tattoos he had were for medical reasons. When they found his body, they took X-rays and where there were tattoos was where his bones had started to decay. His tattoos were on his back, knees, ankles, and feet. The ink used on his tattoos was made of powdered charcoal and rubbing it into his cut skin. Many ancient civilizations did tattoos and piercings for example the Egyptians, Greeks, Japanese, Arabian and Siberians. Many mummies have been found with tattoos and are the oldest bodies to be found with gauged or stretched earlobes (Tibu). The Egyptians were also the ones who brought tattooing to Greece and to Arabia (Nat-A-Tat2). In Japan, tattoos were used for beauty, beliefs “and to mark criminals” (Nat-A-Tat2).
You might think war is fought with men and weapons, but one of the most dangerous weapons a country can use is also an unexpected one. Propaganda was one of the most dangerous weapons that was used in World War 2 by both the Nazis and the Allies. War is fought with men and weapons but, how do you get those men to join your cause. This is where propaganda comes in, but let’s start at the beginning.
Science plays a major role in assisting archaeologists and researchers reconstruct the past. In the case of Ötzi, scientific research resulted in magnificent findings and continues to make great finds and extract evidence from the body and the equipment found with it.
Tattooing is not just a recent fad. Tattooing has been around for a very long time. "The current first proven incident of a tattoo dates back 4,000 years B.C. a traveler was found in Italy near Austria, preserved in the permafrost of a glacier. Carbon dating and arte facts found near him suggest that he is over 5,300 years old" (Tattoos and Design). Tattoos have been used
In conclusion, there has not yet been a definite cause of death for King Tut, but studies and tests performed on the mummy body mostly point to infection as his cause of death. He died at a very young age, however the medications and technology was not there like it is today. There will continue to be studies and testing done, but there will always only be speculation because he died so long ago.
