The world's oldest and coldest archaeological detective stories, with special attention paid to Ötzi the Iceman, one of the most mysterious and best preserved examples
One of the world's foremost authorities on glacier mummies explores their curious preservation and unravels the clues they have left locked in ice and frozen in time, in this engaging, illustrated book. Ancient human bodies, melted from their glacial time-capsules, present unique sources of highly detailed information of lives spent long ago, and one example of particular note has been dubbed by the world's media "Ötzi the Iceman." Celebrated from the moment of his incredible discovery, his fame has only increased with the realization of his murder. Found high in the Alps shot in the back by an arrow, Ötzi lived some 5,200 years ago and represents the oldest of cold cases. The hectic and violent last few days of his life have been revealed by analyses of his gut contents which can be likened to an encoded diary and a map. This is a detective story unparalleled in scientific archaeology.
