The last analyses realised on momia human older of the world, of 5,300 years of well-known antiquity and like the ice man, have kept awake that was assassinated to blows and slings. From its discovery, Ötzi, as it is known momia to the found salary popularly in 1991 between the ice of the valley of Ötz, in the Italian alpine region of the Adige Stop, has been put under numerous examinations that have established all the details on their life: that she was an inhabitant of Italian the Alps, of the 3300 a. C. (in the age of European Cobre) and that died to the 46 years.

But the great mystery that has surrounded to the ice man in all these years was to know how it died, since at first it thought that it was surprised by a storm while it was hunting near his town. Nevertheless, some wounds in their body made suspect to the investigators. The last examinations realised by an equipment of University LMU of Munich (Germany) in collaboration with the Institute of Pathology of Bautzen (Italy) have kept awake that the man of the ice died after several attacks on the part of some rivals.

“It is that Ötzi was struck twice in its last days of life and two separated attacks”, explained the head of the team of scientists, Andreas Nerlich, in declarations to the newspaper Will run della Sera. The wounds, found 5,300 years after their death, are three: a deep cut in the hand, fruit of a first attack, and later a wound of shoots with an arrow, whose end has been found under the right armpit. The scientists assure that shortly after being wounded, while he bled, he received the definitive mortal blow in the back with a forceful object.

When it was found, the ice man dressed stockings goat skin and hat and next to him was a copper axe and carcaj filled of you shoot with an arrow. The last year, the German tourist Erika Simon, who along with his husband, recently passed away, found the rest of Ötzi was able after one long legal battle to receive 150,000 Euros of reward on the part of the region of Bautzen, that exposes momia in its museum. The pair had received in 1994 a symbolic reward of 5,200 Euros. An amount that considered unjust by such discovery.
