Welcome to my blog about Ötzi the Iceman!

Here you will read information in regards to:

  • Who he was
  • Where he was discovered
  • How he was discovered
  • Items found on the Iceman's body and how they enhance our knowledge and understanding of the man and the times in which he had lived
  • The changing interpretations about the Iceman's cause of death, from the time of his discovery to the present. 
  • Issues relating to the custodianship and ownership of the Iceman and the ethics involved in displaying his human remains
