The Mystery of Ötzi the Iceman: A Journey into the Prehistoric Past
On September 19, 1991, two hikers crossing the Ötzal Alps, on the border between Austria and Italy, made an extraordinary discovery. A corpse emerged from the ice, a mummified man who lived approximately 5,300 years ago, known today as Ötzi the Iceman. What initially appeared to be the victim of a recent climbing accident turned out to be an incredible archaeological treasure that has shocked our understanding of the prehistoric past.
