Where’s Quincy when you really need him?.............

GGG Ping.

Oetzi's DNA haplogroup is 'K', same as Thomas Jefferson's.

[denydenydeny]

None of this can be true. As we all know, people lived in perfect utopian harmony until Christianity and capitalism came along.

[pillut48]

Poor Oetzi. Wonder if they’ll ever determine FOR SURE what actually killed him!

[Bosco]

Oetzi falls and receives a head trauma, and then it takes 5000 years to get a CAT scan.

If that's not a failure of socialized medicine I don't know what is. :)

His wife hit him with a frying pan.

[mtbopfuyn]

Hundreds of thousands of dollars later and he’s still dead, Jim.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Just robbing ancient Italian icemen that Americans won’t rob.

Ancient DNA

[trisham]

Interesting. Amazing what can be done these days.

shot, bashed in the head, frozen...

This guy was like the Rasputin of his era.

[macamadamia]

It was Barzini all along, wasn’t it?

[KarlInOhio]

I'm just a caveman. I'm confused and frightened by your CAT scans and modern forensic science. But there is one thing I do know: that Oetzi deserves justice and a $10 million settlement for the initial misruling on his cause of death.

[50sDad]

So, he was beaten to death by a Cleric, not a Fighter?

[YOUGOTIT]

And if he fell on his head the reason was the arrow. And if the people that were attacking caught him and hit him on the head is was the arrow that allow them do to do. So the arrow is the reason for his death period.

WAs he found in Gramercy PASS?

Suicide by Arkancide - linked to distant ancestors of the clintooon tribe.

[afortiori]

A few observations:

Notice you never see Oetzi and Keith Richards in the same room together. Coincidence? I think not.

If Oetzi was killed by enemy fighters, why didn’t they take his copper axe, or his quiver? Hmmm, just like the movie Predator... except for the skinning of the corpse, the making trophies of man and all that other crap.

[Hacklehead]

“In a statement Tuesday, the academy said the findings reopened the debate over Oetzi’s cause of death, particularly since they took into account the rather unnatural way in which his body was found: face down, with his left arm across his chest. The researchers believe the Iceman fell over backward, but was then turned over onto his stomach by his aggressor who then pulled out the arrow shaft while leaving the arrowhead imbedded in Oetzi’s shoulder.”

Its all just speculation masquarading as science. No one could have fallen with his arm like that... Utter BS.
