Second only to the mystery of who killed Otzi, is why it took scientists almost thirty years to discover the bowstring in his quiver is a bowstring.
Thanks for posting!

Ötzi died after being struck in the back by an arrow, sparking a long-running mystery...

A suicide, Clinton style?

I wonder why the killer(s) didn't steal his stuff. Resources in the 10,000 foot high mountain pass would be a bit sparse. I would think they would take anything useful they could find.

I’m sure that they are correct about it being a bowstring, but their reasoning is wrong. Plant fibers make perfectly acceptable bowstrings, and were (and still are) widely used for the purpose.

It sometimes takes a while to identify items found in the back of my freezer, too.

From the picture he was probably only about 25 years old. 😆

Scientists? took over 30 years to surmise that a length of cord, made from sinew, found in his arrow quiver, MIGHT be a bow string.

How to milk that grant money.

An inscription on the bow says “Otzstein didn’t kill himself.”

"It is two metres long, almost exactly the same length as the bow ... the Copper Age hunter's bow had been freshly-cut from a yew tree.

I guess the "English" (Welsh) longbow has been around for a while.

Experts had long speculated that the two objects were connected but definitive proof has now been obtained by a team of Swiss scientists.

Duh, it only took how many years?...................
