Don’t let Clinton anywhere near her!

“In particular, we still know little about what grains people ate at this time, so the Lady of Introd could provide direct evidence of a diet composed of wheat, barley, or millet,” Killgrove said.

She may be 5,000, but she has the body of a 3,000 year old!
Based on the current evidence I think it is safe to assume that Otzi was a woman beater. Of course, I am relying on my training as an anthropologist.
Lonely for so long, now he will be reunited.
Looks like she’s going to need a hip replacement.
her ossified tongue was found and appeared to have been sharpened to a razor edge.
Some are theorizing the sharpened tongue was responsible for driving the Ice man up on the mountain
