In 1991, the glacier in northern Italy was found the mummy age of about 5,300 years. Viennese reporter called the oldest human mummy, discovered in Europe, Ötzi – because the body was frozen into the ice near the Ötztal Valley. Now, American scientists presented to the public three-dimensional model of the mummy Ötzi, reports Daily Mail

The Americans said they did three dimensional model of Ötzi:. One of them will be shown at exhibitions, and two use for scientific research. Scientists note that three or four right edges of the mummy were crushed after the death – but in a three-dimensional model of Ötzi all edges intact

«Three-dimensional model we need for research -. In particular, by using it, we can find out the mysterious ECR causes of death. We already know a lot about Ötzi, but now we learn about it much more. We understand, what was the role of Ötzi in history “, – commented scientists

American researchers added that the three-dimensional model of Ötzi” talk also about the era of the Chalcolithic, which remains mysterious for the historians. “. Chalcol – a transition period from the Neolithic (Stone Age) to the Bronze Age.

Today, researchers know that the descendants of Ötzi the father most often found among the modern inhabitants of Sardinia, but the maternal line “ice man” belongs to the indigenous inhabitants of the Alps. In addition, the researchers found that at the time of death he was about 45 years old (at the time he was considered a man of advanced age), and the man weighed only about 50 kg. On the body of Ötzi researchers have identified about 60 tattoos of dots, lines and crosses. According to some experts, tattoos were applied Ötzi during the process of initiation (initiation – ritual, which marks the transition of the individual to a new stage of development in the framework of a particular social group or mystical society)

The researchers also conducted a number of studies and found that Ötzi had been abraded joints, nose – broken teeth – worn out (with caries was not)

The history of discovery Ötzi:. he was found by German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon, is going to climb on one of the alpine peaks. Seeing the corpse, the couple decided to have found the body of one of the unfortunate modern climbers (such finds in the Alps are common).

The famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner, who arrived to the place of discovery, together with his partner Hans Kammerlander two days after Ötzi discovery, first suggested that he died about 500 years ago.

the Austrian authorities have transported the body to the morgue in Innsbruck, and only there found that the ice man lay in the mountains more than 4000 years. The body, the waist frozen into ice, extracted using conventional ice axes and rotary hammer, who injured his thigh Ötzi.

Gawker had time to take pictures against the background of a mummy, touch it with your bare hands (why her soon appeared mold) and to take away part of the clothing ECR souvenirs even before it was pulled from the ice

it is noteworthy that a number of Russian and foreign media for many years, speaks of “the curse of the mummy.” – this legend came after a series of deaths of researchers involved in the study . ECR

The first died professor Gunter Henn – two years after the person moved the remains of Ötzi in a plastic bag during transport. Car accident interrupted his life at the very moment when he was in a hurry for a conference on ECR.

After a while, the avalanche covered an experienced guide Kurt Fritz Henn who accompanied to the place of death of the Iceman. Fritz was the only one from the group of climbers who died.

Then a brain hemorrhage die Rainer Holtz, the only journalist who was allowed to shoot on film the process of liberation of Ötzi the ice captivity.

In 2004, Helmut Simon died: he was cold during a snow storm near the place where I first saw Ötzi 13 years earlier. His rescuers found the body of only eight days later. An hour later, after the funeral of Simon died of heart attack Dieter Warnecke, head of the group, engaged in his quest

In April 2005, multiple sclerosis dies Konrad Spindler -. Exactly one year after he became a member of the group involved Ötzi the study, and publicly stated that he does not believe in the curse of the mummy: “Nonsense, nonsense press. You say now that the next in the list -. I ” Spindler, by the way, first suggested that Ötzi was a shaman. At this point it put things in the tattoo.

In November of the same year with the blood of the disease died, Tom Loy, who discovered on belonging to Ötzi the subjects blood of four innocent people and put forward the theory that Ötzi was killed after a fierce battle, which wounded his friend. Prior to this it was thought that Ötzi died during inclement weather, to get lost in solitude in the mountains.
