This is what it looked like when the married couple Helmut and Erika Simon discovered Ötzi's body protruding from the ice during a hike in the mountains on 19 September 1991.

Long as they don’t reanimate, it’s fine by me.

He ran, but he just died tired.

[SunkenCiv]

He was the original Cube-an.

We must accelerate global warming so that the anthropologists can discover more specimens.

Burn coal for science!

And nobody get any ideas now, savvy?

Uno, does, trays...

Here is a look at the climate changes during that time period and before.

It is actually colder now than it was 5,300 years ago but not by much.

OJ said he was going to find the real murderer of Otzi.

[Sacajaweau]

Only proves the world was warmer back then...then it cooled....then it warmed...Get the idea???

Forensic anthropologists were able to recreate Ötzi's primitive
facial physiognomy from the rotten remains.

It was a mob hit. The mafia back then used the area as a dumping ground.

[SunkenCiv]

He was so much colder then, he’s warmer than that now.

In addition to suggesting that there could be more ice mummies, Otzi also suggested that people need to stay warm, be kind to each other, and keep an eye on the weather.
