Ötzi: the 5,300-year-old man found in Alpine ice

Original: Замерз во льдах 5300 лет назад: история человека, которого сохранил лед В сентябре 1991 года туристы Эрика и Хельмут Сим

In September 1991, tourists Erika and Helmut Simon discovered a body in melting ice in the Alps. Initially thought to be a recent climbing accident victim, the remains turned out to belong to a man who lived around 5,300 years ago in the Copper Age. The naturally mummified body, later known as Ötzi, has become one of archaeology's most important finds, offering a rare window into prehistoric life.

Why now: Renewed interest in the famous Copper Age mummy found in the Alps as stories about the discovery circulate.
