The Russians did it, of course.

Since he was preserved in a glacier, it seems like it must have snowed heavily and stayed frozen immediately after his death. So could that have happened in spring or summer at 10,500 feet?
See the excerpt from the article in post 19.
Just watched a documentary on the ice man on Netflix tonight. Very interesting!
Thanks P.
w, forensics ping....
As a trained anthrocookologist, I think we should take a closer look at these three meals he consumed.
He had:
1. Toaster waffles with maple syrup
2. A microwave pizza
3. Three hard-boiled eggs and some canned spaghetti
This tells me that he was probably married to one of my wife’s ancestors.
LOL!

Actually killed out and bred out out. Their genes are still in us today. The real question is why the Neanderthals of huge superior strength did not become the dominate species of man.
“Was he fooling around with someone else’s woman? Was he shot by a stray arrow from a hunter? He wasn’t robbed...”
Exactly! In typical fashion, when they finally discovered that the Iceman had been struck in the back with an arrow and left to die in the mountains, they jumped to the conclusion that he was murdered. But they don’t know that. He may have been a serial killer on the run for all we know... Or was just chased into the mountains by a posse of the local Village Elder who just discovered that his second teenage daughter had been shagged by this scoundrel...
Thanks for posting this article. The Iceman story has been so very interesting since his frozen body was discovered.
Don’t know who killed him, but his wife signed the DNR.

Good read from the link...I investigated his life and story awhile back....including the psychological interviews and studies of the man. Fascinating study to be sure!
Yeah, his wife wasn’t about to let the guy be revived....but I believe as much as the guy could care about anyone his wife and family came closest to that...even though he abused them. That’s about as close to a normal life as he had. In many respects that he had a wife and children, to him, meant he was normal in his own mind. His demons were huge!

Interesting since the article references research from just last year.
Time Travel Much!
“Often called the Iceman, he is the world’s most perfectly preserved mummy, a Copper Age fellow who had been frozen inside a glacier along the northern Italian border with Austria until warming global temperatures melted the ice and two hikers discovered him in 1991.”
And this being the NYT we will next learn that Oetzi was gay.
Thanks, very interesting.
Yes, at that altitude precipitation at any time of year could fall as snow and remain frozen (until an extended period exposed to direct sunlight).
I’m not really sure that ‘glacier’ is the best term as glaciers move and if the ice had moved very much then likely his remains would have been broken up. I suspect his remains were always in a relatively thin layer of snow and ice.

Neandertals Come Big!
They fall hard.
