“The man in ice” and the \u00d6tzi Village<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The \u00d6tzi Village opened in 2000, das <\/span>just 10 years after the historically monumental discovery of \u00d6tzidem<\/span> “Man in ice\u201c on Tisenjoch (\u00d6tztaler Alps). Since then, the archaeological open-air park has been expanded annually.<\/span> The original area of approximately ca.<\/span> 4.000 m\u00b2 has been <\/span>auf ca.<\/span>extended to approximately 12.000 m\u00b2. The \u00d6tzi Village attracts around 50,000 guests every year,people of all ages and nationality\u2019s making it <\/span>one of the most popular destinations in \u00d6tztal.\"\"<\/p>\n

Until the time of \u00d6tzi’s discovery in 1991<\/span>, \u00d6tztal was on a archaeological level ‘undeveloped’. As a result of the find, research was intensified and as so, have come to prove that the earliest human habitation in this area dates back as early as 8000 BCE. Chr.<\/p>\n

The traces left by prehistoric inhabitants are often hidden well from the public’s eye, and archaeological findings are sparse. Through the implementation of archaeological context in the form of corresponding reconstructions, additions and models, everyday life from prehistoric times can be conveyed visibly and objectively. In this sense, the archaeological open-air park ‘\u00d6tzi Village’ is a reaction to the pedagogical trend of making science accessible to the public in an understandable way[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_screen_section_height=”no”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”13215″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”13216″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”13217″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_screen_section_height=”no”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator title=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201e\u00d6tzi – The man in ice\u201c<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]On the 19th of September 1991, two German hikers Erika and Helmut Simon from N\u00fcrnberg coincidently, came across the glacier mummy on Tilsenjoch (3.208m) in the \u00d6tztaler Alps. The site is a rocky outcrop and was covered by glacial ice, but as wonders would have it the corpse was well preserved over the thousands of years. Only through the retreat of the glacier and strong defrosting in the unusually hot summer of 1991, was the mummy uncovered.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_screen_section_height=”no” css=”.vc_custom_1530170995839{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”13219″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”13220″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”13227″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_screen_section_height=”no”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator title=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A Cultural Sensation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Four days after the discovery, the corpse was retrieved by the Institute of Forensic Medicine from the University of Innsbruck. \u00c5 team of Scientists soon confirmed the cultural and historical sensation: The mummy is approximately 5,250 years old, a male from the late Neolithic period. The mummy\u2019s nickname ‘\u00d6tzi’, comes from its place of discovery, the name was quickly a phrase.<\/p>\n

\u00d6tzi was roughly 1.54 m tall and weighed 13 kg, the freeze-dried corpse is almost completely intact and complete. Through numerous investigations many details could be ascertained: \u00d6tzi was about 45 \u2013 46 years old at death, 5 years- give or take. His left shoulder was injured by an arrow shot, a skull- brain trauma was also detected. Through dental analysis it became apparent that \u00d6tzi’s home region was the Isarco Valley in southern Tyrol. He had blood type 0 and brown eyes. Through Tooth Enamal Isotope Analysis it was able to be specifeid the his probable place of origin was the Eisacktal in South Tyrol[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator title=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\"\"<\/p>\n

The Oldest Tattoo in the World<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The mummy has numerous blue-black tattoos that formed short lines. Coal dust was rubbed into small puncture wounds. The ice man had 61 tattoos. Currently these are the oldest tattoos on record.
\nThe mummy has numerous blue-black tattoos. Coal dust was rubbed into small puncture wounds. Alltogether 61 tattoos were counted, most to be found on his arms and legs. Currently these are the oldest tattoos on record.<\/p>\n

His Last Day and Death<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The last days of \u00d6tzi’s life were possible to reconstruct through analysis of intestinal contents. Various plant pollen indicate that \u00d6tzi travelled long distances amongst different vegetation zones before his death. Cut injuries to the arm and hands encourage the idea the he was in close combat. About a hour before his death he took a rest and ate a hearty meal. It was found out that the cause of death was a traumatic brain injury and due to an arrow wound on his sholder a large loss of blood.<\/p>\n

Clothing and Equipment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It was not just a naked body that was found, \u00d6tzi was clothed and had numerous everyday objects near him. His jacket and leggings were made of goatskin or sheepskin – possibly a mixture of both, his belt was from calfskin and his loincloth (knee length) was sheepskin. His shoes were made of cowhide and bearskin and on the underside of the shoe, strips of woven leather were attached, it its now believed to be the oldest shoe sole. The lining of the shoe was made of grass cords, dried sweet grasses all held together by a knoted net.. The shoe was specially adapted to the requirements in high mountain terrain. \u00d6tzi was also wearing a cap made of brown bear skin.
\nOf particular importance is the entrained copper hatchet, the hatchet is completely preserved. The blade is made of 99% copper, probably from south Tucson Ore. \u00d6tzi’s ax is the only hatchet from this era that has survived in this condition.
\nAnother thing found was a 182 cm bow made of Yew wood, in the origional case 14 arrows made from Wayfaring tree. Two of the arrows still have their arrowhead made of flint. These were attached and glued with plant fibres and birch sap. \u00d6tzi’s equipment also included a dagger with flint blade and handle of ash.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_text_separator title=”Current Research Results”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_screen_section_height=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u00d6tzi’s State of Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Recent medical research has revealed that the man was severely damaged in the icey conditions. In addition to acute joint pain, he suffered from a worm disease in the intestine he had three gallstones that may have caused colic. An intestinal bacteria in the gastric mucous membrane was probably unpleasant. The most surprising thing to find was that the blood lipids were increased significantly. Vascular Stenosis in the area of the carotid arteries and severe insufficiency of the coronary artery was the result. He was at risk of stroke and a heart attack.<\/p>\n

Genetic Insights<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By means of DNA analysis \u00d6tzi’s genome could be determined. It was deduced that his maternal ancestors came from the alpine region and are now extinct, while his paternal line was found in close Eastern regions where his roots are still detectable in Central Europe today.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
