Otzi, the Neolithic Iceman• Iceman, an ancient mummified human body. It was found by a

German tourist  in the Ötztal Alps, on the Italian-Austrian border, on September 19, 1991. Dated 3300 B.C., the body is that of a man aged 25 to 35 who had been about (5 feet 2 inches) tall and had weighed (110 pounds). Initially it was thought that he fell victim to exposure or exhaustion while crossing the Alps and died of freezing; however, X-ray examination in 2001 showed that an arrowhead was lodged in the Iceman’s left shoulder, suggesting that he had likely bled to death after being shot.. His nickname, Ötzi, stems from the Ötztal Alps, where he was found.
