Also called Ötzi the Iceman, the Similaun Man, the Man from Hauslabjoch, the Tyrolean Iceman, Homo tyrolensis, and the Hauslabjoch mummy) is a well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived around 3,300 BCE,[2][3] more precisely between 3359 and 3105 BCE, with a 66% chance that he died between 3239 and 3105 BCE.[4] The mummy was found in September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps, hence the nickname "Ötzi", near the Similaun mountain and Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy.[5] He is Europe 's oldest known natural human mummy, and has offered an unprecedented view of Chalcolithic Europeans. His body and belongings are displayed in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy. Website: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ötzi

also called Otzi the Iceman, the Similaun Man, the Man from Hauslabjoch, Homo tyrolensis, and the Hauslabjoch mummy, is a well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived around 3,300 BCE. Otzi was discovered in Europe 1991 in the Otztal Alps on the Austrian-Italian border. He is Europe 's oldest known natural human mummy, and has offered an unprecedented view of Chalcolithic Europeans.

Ötzi The Iceman was found 1991 by two hikers in the Austrian Alps. First police thought it was a lost hiker that died by freezing to death but then multiple tools from the copper age were found near the body and then scientists knew that this man came from the copper age. They Named him Ötzi the Iceman. Ever since he was found, scientist and geologist try to find out the murder case, why Ötzi The Iceman killed?
They suspect that this mummy could be Ankhesenamun. After some more testing the forensic scientists prove that the older fetus was King Tut's daughter, and along with her sibling are the only mummified fetuses found in
The Venus of Willendorf Sculpture was made in 24,000- 22,000, Before the Common Era (BCE), the Paleolithic Period or Old Stone Age, which was the longest phase of human history. The Paleothic Period was made up of nomadic hunters and gathers that were sheltered in caves, used fire, and stones for tools. A fun fact about this discovery is that it is the earliest pieces of prehistoric sculpture that has ever been found. It was made by hand, made of limestone, has a height of 11cm and was found in Willendorf, Austria. When looking at this piece, you would probably see the female reproductive anatomy that has been a bit exaggerated.
Tollund man The Tollund Man is a naturally preserved corpse found in Denmark. It was assumed that he was the victim of a recent murder however due to modern scientific research it would seem that his story would go a lot deeper than we originally thought. The Tollund Man was first discovered in the Bjældskovdal peat bog.
The stone head sculptures of the Olmec civilization of the Gulf Coast of Mexico (1200 BCE - 400 BCE) are amongst the most
From carbon-dating, scientists believe Otzi to be around 5000 years old and have pieced together a range of details that inform us of these prehistoric times. There are a few questions people ask about Otzi; like why was he so high up in the alps and how did he actually died? One theory suggests he was
A Research work on the 'Mysteries of Tutankhamun and His grave, the Egyptian Boy King' There are no surviving records of Tutankhamun's final days. What caused Tutankhamun's death has been the subject of considerable debate. Major studies have been conducted in an effort to establish the cause of death. There is some evidence, advanced by Harvard microbiologist Ralph Mitchell, that his burial may have been hurried.
Introduction This paper will analyze and compare the Egyptian Standing Figure of Osiris with Egyptian Mummy Coffin of Pedusiri, visual elements of Ancient and Medieval Art and Architecture works from the collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum. By comparing and contrasting these two works, we will be able to see the salient parts of each of them more clearly and can better understand the relationship between their periods, cultures, or artists. This comparison will also reveal how these two cultures view the human anatomy and human spirit in different ways.
Before the mummy’s trip towards his death, an abundance of proof shows Ötzi was not rushed, but instead prepared for the adventure awaiting him into the next life. Ötzi the iceman was a important person in his who was killed due to jealousy and envy. After being hit in the head, Ötzi was shot in the back with a war arrow. Realizing that he made a big mistake, the iceman’s killer took out the arrow used to kill Ötzi, Ötzi’s arrows, and Ötzi’s copper axe. He laid the arrows and the axe out to show he knew he made a mistake.
The cave art depicts a scene of a man shooting an arrow at another man on a mountain. The circumstances of this depiction, such as the man chasing down another man shows details that were almost like a documentary of what happened to Ötzi. This could be the actual story or could be a tribal depiction of what this covetous culture’s methods used to acquire power and position. Perhaps the killer told his own story or maybe there were witnesses who depicted the horrors they saw.
King Tutankhamun, since the discovery of his tomb by Howard Carter in 1922, has become a household name as it is the only complete Ancient Egyptian tomb to be found in tact, thus allowing for clear and intellectual information to be shared amongst the world of Archaeology. However, some may say that the events which occurred during his reign also impacted heavily upon his popularity. The following essay will discuss how the discovery of Tutankhamun’s complete tomb has resulted in the adoption of the name of ‘The Greatest Egyptian King’ as well as exploring how the events which happened during his rule could also result in the conception of this name. As King Tutankhamun ascended the throne at such a young age, he was not trusted to make impactful
There are many theories how a man found in the alps covered in ice died. Later this man was named Ötzi or the iceman. When Ötzi was found he had many tools /weapons with him. He had a copper axe, threaded mushrooms, a fanny pack with multiple items in it, and and much more. His items were spared away from him and later on when scientist examined him, his skin was like a mummy.
To put it on a timeline for you it was after the Neolithic age but before the bronze age. We know this because he was Radio-c carbon dated with 97% accuracy. They also dated all of Otzi's
It is well known that ancient Egypt had an obsession with the afterlife, and apparently, their art was not intended to be seen by the living, but for only those who had passed on into eternity. The statue of King Menkaure and Queen had been found in January of 1910, and when uncovered, was found to be in pristine condition. The statue represented the idealistic masculine and feminine traits of men and women, which King Menkaure and his wife most likely exhibited in their lifetime. The statue had been carved using greywacke, which is a type of sand stone prized for its hardness and dark color.
According to Zohi Hawass’ article on King Tut’s Family Secrets, mummies lead archaeologists and scholars to contradicting feelings about whether they should be studied or not. Inspecting Tutankhamun’s body, artifacts and two fetuses found in the tomb drove archaeologists to pose questions needing answers. CT scan assisted in determining that Tutankhamun was nineteen years old when dying, had a broken leg, and skull’s hole. Moreover, using DNA analysis displayed Tutankhamun’s clubbed foot, missing toe’s bone, and disease’s pathogen. Both CT scan and DNA analysis helped archaeologists discover Tutankhamun’s complex family relationship and how his family sibling marriage led them to suffer from genetic diseases.
