Ötzi (Ötzi the Iceman)

Ötzi, also known as the Iceman, is a well-preserved mummy from around 3300 BCE, discovered in the Alps in 1991. His remarkably intact body, along with tools and clothing, provides valuable insights into Copper Age life. Ötzi was likely a traveler or hunter, and his well-preserved condition allows scientists to study ancient human health, diet, and technology. His discovery has significantly advanced our understanding of prehistoric Europe, as he offers a unique glimpse into daily life and social conditions over 5,000 years ago.
