guy Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Recent DNA analysis of Ötzi the ancient iceman of the Italian Alps has shown that he had Turkish roots, as well as his skin was darker and he was balder than previously thought. The most recent image of Ötzi. Quote Oetzi, who lived over 5,000 years ago, was frozen in the ice after he was killed by an arrow to the back. His corpse was preserved as a "natural mummy” until 1991 when hikers found him along with some of his clothing and gear – including a copper ax, a longbow, and a bearskin hat. Since then, many researchers have worked to uncover more about the mummy, which is displayed at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02562-0 https://www.dailysabah.com/life/oetzi-the-turk-dna-study-shows-surprising-details-about-iceman/news Edited August 17, 2023 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
