But the researchers were able to get sample of its contents, which—like the intestines—contained evidence of meat and wheat grains.

So much for the premise underlying the Paleo Diet

Watch people use this to prove he was a Muslim.

One thing I’ll never miss is the fetid stench of muslim stewing goat meat wafting through my apartment complex in Tempe.

What a seething islamic pesthole that overpriced dump was.

based in part on the discovery of an arrowhead in his back—is that he was...

....involved in an early Democratic Party scandal, and has been ruled to have committed suicide.

He was sentenced to death. He enjoyed grain and goat stew as his last meal before the execution.

The circumstances surrounding Ötzi's death are not fully known, but the most popular theory—based in part on the discovery of an arrowhead in his back—is that he was murdered by other hunters while fleeing through the mountains.

He was part of a raiding party and was wounded in the raid and died of infection on the way home. His copper axe was found with him, and he had been covered by his wooden shield and snow, but all other items of value had been removed. No thief would have killed him, robbed him, and then left a very valuable weapon like a copper axe, and then protected him from wild animals by burying him under a shield.

But they don't want to believe that he was any sort of violent man.

“he was murdered by other hunters while fleeing through the mountains”

LOL. National Geo, they focus on his last meal and skip fast past the fact that he was murdered. The noble savage, eh?
