They see something mysterious<br />sticking out of the snow, they saw a perfect head and shoulders sticking out of the ice. So they start to dig around it and discover that it’s a body with skin and hair still on it! The body was found near the Australian and Italy border. Italian police first think its just a doll but they soon to find out that it’s a Ice mans body, and it’s the oldest one ever found on earth! Then the Italian police think it’s a recent death but there wrong again. So they decide they want to find out if the Ice man is real or not so they call in a specialist to examine the body and he says it’s a real human artifact! The first artifact ever to have all the bones connected to its body and still have skin and hair!<br />They decide to unfreeze the Ice man and if it works the scientist can take some samples of the Ice man and maybe find out the mystery of how or what killed the Ice man but if it doesn’t work then the scientists will be blamed for the wrecking of this ancient artifact of time. If he was assassinated then he must have done something wrong to earn his own death or was he just an innocent Ice man trying to find food or move his livestock.

I think one of the reasons Otzi died was he got hypothermia which is theory one. I also think he died of assassination which is theory three. I think he was walking in the alps and a guy came from behind and got him with an arrow. Then I think he might of fallen and also died of hypothermia. I think theory four he died in battle is partly right because he had other peoples blood on him, but he could have been that he was helping a guy that had been hurt before he had left. I don’t really think theory two that he got robbed is right, because there was probably not to much to rob, and he also probably did not want to carry anything with him on his journey so he did not bring anything with him, I am probably wrong but I think the other three theories make the most sense. If I picked a theory that I think would be the third most right I would pick the third theory, that he died of battle because he had different peoples blood on him. All of the theory’s could be right but if I only got to pick two I would pick number one and number three.Kaylee M p.d.9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-69482643295458611492010-09-23T19:47:14.533-05:002010-09-23T19:47:14.533-05:00i think otzi the iceman died bie running from some...i think otzi the iceman died bie running from something and when he was running he tripped and gave up and died. the other way he might of died is by getting a cold or just getting sick by something and then dieing right there. after the years his flesh diapered and was buried from the snow. another way he might of died is from being in battle. he might of cross the border of a state that hated the type otzi was from and they did not want him there so they killed him.Elana S.pd3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-14484359254560026472010-09-23T19:42:59.909-05:002010-09-23T19:42:59.909-05:00I think Theory 2 is the right one because on the v...I think Theory 2 is the right one because on the video it said that he might of killed a sheep and it wasn't his and the owner got really mad :{ and when Otzi was climbing up the mountain the owner found him and shot him with the bow and arrow and while he was in pain he dropped his stuff while he was dying and he fell on the ground and the owner ran over and took Otzi's stuff and ran off. I DON'T THINK he died from Hypothermia because the dudes thought he died from it but they weren't sure so i just went with theory 2 and so yeah. I ish think it that he died in a battle because they said the coat Otzi was wearing was a sign of a battle and I also don't think he died in a battle because I DON'T REMEMBER them saying he died in a battle. And I don’t think he died because of a Assassination because I don’t remember them saying he was a community or religious leader. I only remember bites and pieces of the video and one of them was that they found mysterious tattoos that Otzi had on his skin and that only a leader would have an axe that Otzi had.<br /><br />Forever <br />And <br />Alwayz<br />KaitlynKaitlyn A.

The fact that the arrow was in his back shows that he was assassinated because that means that the attacker came from behind and was unseen by Otzi. I also think that he could have been robbed. I think the theory that he was robbed seems reasonable because many of his items were gone. I think he didn’t die of hypothermia because the arrow head deep in his back seemed lethal. I think it is unlikely that he died in battle. If he had died in battle there would be more bodies in the area and scientists only found Otzi. I also believe that he did not die in battle because the wound was in his back and not in his chest. Battle would be hand to hand combat hence a wound would most likely to in the front of the body.<br /> So my hypothesis is that Otzi the ice man was assassinated then after he died the assassin came and robbed him. Unfortunately there is no evidence to indicate whether this crime was premeditated, or if it was a crime of opportunity.Joel Q.

Because the jacket he was wearing had blood stains on it and the blood was probably was coming from his shoulder when he got shot by a bone arrow. And The hypothermia theory was probably after he got shot in the shoulder and fell to the ground laying there in pain and the soldiers or whoever was fighting probably left then, Otzi the iceman was laying there moaning in pain and he slowly got closer to hypothermia and then died later. I do not think he was a victim of robbery because there probably wasn’t many flowers in the alps during the winter. According to the information it said he may have been in battle now this theory maybe partly true because if he was in battle and the robbers wanted his flock but if they started shooting the pack may have ran away and left him lie there while they chased down the flock to take them and didn’t car about Otzi anymore then he died there in pain moaning while he suffered hypothermia and then later died. This Concludes my opinion on how Otzi the Ice Man died.Tristen .N Peroid 8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-21668754871463920872010-09-23T16:21:47.147-05:002010-09-23T16:21:47.147-05:00Just kidding but the video was funny.Just kidding but the video was funny.Brad L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-90513147301677214462010-09-23T16:19:31.347-05:002010-09-23T16:19:31.347-05:00I believe Otzi died of murder.

Why I believe that is, he was in the Alps and it was very cold also he had an arrowhead in his shoulder. There was also blood on his coat. Otzi, I think, was a priest going up to the mountains to talk to his "god" because he had questions for it or them from the people from his village who believe in that "god". While he was up there I think he had crossed a border and they did not want him there because those two countries hated one another so they shot Otzi. After they shot Otzi, I think who ever killed him took his things in his backpack as you can see in Mr. Klumper's video. I think his bow was unstrung beacuse after he got killed he landed on his bow and the string broke off the bow. He might have dropped it and it broke on a rock. He also might have used the bow as a walking stick or when the person shot him their bow string broke and they took his bow string.

He could have also died of hypothermia because he could have (like said in theory number one) took some clothes off and soon after died of hypothermia. <br />Theory number two: I don’t quite believe this theory is correct but if I couldn’t choose theory number one I would choose this theory. I don’t believe this theory because I think the killer would have died of hypothermia soon after his steel and find Utsi’s folk of sheep, cattle, or any other kind of animal.<br />Theory number three: I don’t believe in this theory because I don’t think there were any villages in the middle of the alps during the ice age. They <br />might have had villages on the alps but I doubt they had villages on the mountains of the alps. I say this because I think it would be stupid to make a village so high in an environment so cold.<br />Theory number four: This theory does have a pretty good point, but I highly doubt this is what happened. I don’t think people had developed warfare at that time because there were no countries. Even though they made tribes I doubt they had wars, maybe murderous actions, but no war.williamdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-86854229546735641382010-09-23T13:51:40.776-05:002010-09-23T13:51:40.776-05:00I think he was assassinated. I think out of the f...I think he was assassinated. I think out of the four, this makes the most sense. If he was the victim of a robbery, it doesn’t make any sense that the thief would wait that long to steal his sheep. He was pretty high on the Alps, and if I were the supposed “robber”, I would just wait until he was a couple miles away from his village, at the most. It would save a lot of time and in the long run, you will be less sore from all the walking. Also, I thing he would be able to defend himself, or he would have more than an arrow in his shoulder.<br /> He had a copper axe along with a four leaf clover with him, too. Copper was valuable back then so most people think he must have been really rich or powerful. He could have been both, though. I think he was just a regular villager who got offered a job to do something. He got supplied the copper axe because maybe it was a payment for him doing the job. He could have done it because he didn’t like his life there and wanted a fresh start or was just in need of money. The four leaf clover was probably because he was superstitious and didn’t want to get jinxed or anything.<br /> His tattoos suggest that he was a religious leader. It could be kind of like the way we have it with a bunch of different religions and his wasn’t very popular but he had some really strong followers. I think he was assassinated by one of the people that opposed of his group like the Ku Klux Klan didn‘t like people that weren‘t their color. <br /> His teeth showed that he ate grains and bread so that shows that he wasn’t very rich but could get by.<br /> From all the research scientists did, they found out that he was about 45. That is why I think he was assassinated.Lexis S. - 6th periodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-79074943106649870512010-09-23T13:34:26.727-05:002010-09-23T13:34:26.727-05:00I think Otzi died by assassinated because he was s...I think Otzi died by assassinated because he was shot in the back with a arow.

In addition Otzi was killed or stiked by a neandethral. In my opinion I think that Otzi died from a stoke because he was too old. Another reason i think Otzi died was because it was to cold in the alps, and he could not resist the cold with enough warm items. Next is that he might of died from an animal that had some sort of illness. Secondly in my opinion I think that Otzi might have some kind of disease in his body. To add on to this the disease might be caused by not having enough food, water, or shelter, all the necessities of survival. He also could have died because of hypothermia or in other word by a strong flu. Also he could have died in an avalanche while in the Alps. Another reason might be that Otzi could have been killed by someone else because of survival issues. Maybe Otzi could have sacrifised himself in order to save anothe neanderthal. For another reason in my opinion Otzi could have just died because of a heart problem of some sort. Lastly is that i think that it will take a while to discover Otzi's death because it happened about 5300 years ago. Maybe nobody will ever truely discover how he died, But for know we can always opinonate.Dereck Martinez Period 8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-84480403575259743842010-09-22T21:41:45.307-05:002010-09-22T21:41:45.307-05:00I think Otzi was a shepherd.

Therefor I think his sheep were stolen. Since they did not die I rule out hypothermia. Otzi was the only body found by the hikers in the Alps. If he died in battle there would be many other bodies with arrows in them around Otzi's body. Since there were no other bodies or arrows, I do not believe that he died in battle. A few arrows and blood were found around Otzi. Shepherds would have to guard their sheep. Otzi could have used his arrows on robbers anytime before he got shot. I believe he used his arrows to keep away robbers. Collecting his arrows after he used them during his travels. I believe Otzi was a victim of robbery. As it would have been necessary for Otzi to build a shelter while out with his sheep he had to carry tools. Being a shepherd, he could trade a sheep to get the tools he would need. I don't believe he was assassinated. He traveled alone. He took care of sheep not people. Sheep can't shoot arrows. There is nothing in the information to make me think he served his community.Claire.J 3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-6151182529803576052010-09-22T21:34:18.816-05:002010-09-22T21:34:18.816-05:00Things I have learned about Otzi--

I believe that theory number two and three could also be true, since the archeologists found an arrowhead shot deep into his shoulder. This caused him to fall and be unable to get out of his position. This is why his arm is permantly layed across his chest.According to the archeologists, he may have died of hypothermia after about three hours since he could not move.I think that number four is false because the archeologists did not mention that he was in a battle when we watched the video during class.I think that learning about Otzi was important because he is the oldest mummy ever found in history at five thousand three hundred years old. It was a very important discovery for the people walking through the mountains. They first thought that Otzi was a doll, but then found out that he was actually a real mummy.I think that Otzi is one of the best units we have learned about so far.

He found September 1991 born 3300bc died 3300bc estimated 45 years old height 5ft 5in weighing around 110 pounds. His clothes insist of lather pants, a jacket made of animal hides, cape, fur cap, soft shoes stuffed with hay or another warming substance. He had tools like his bow and arrow, a dagger, and a copper axe. His last meal was cereal, plants, and ibex meat. He had tattoos on his ankle, lower back, and kneecap not for decoration. There are many ways people think he died like hypothermia, assassinated with a arrowhead in the shoulder, or drowned. and many other ways. I believe he was assassinated with an arrow head in the shoulder going around 90 miles per hour not puncturing the lungs or heart but bleeding to death with no help. I think he was killed for three reasons for who he was and, for his possessions, and for being in another tribes territory up in the alps were he was found dead. That is why I think Otzi the Iceman, Frozen Fritz, or Simulian Man whatever you want to call him was assassinated with an arrowhead in the shoulder over 5300 years ago.

DNA samples were gathered from Otzi's weapons, clothing and tools. Blood from four different people was found on these items. I think that Otzi was a brave warrior who was helping other people by carrying them to safety. Why else would he have had blood on his coat from four other people? Theory number one may not right because if you die from hypothermia only, you would not have an arrowhead in your shoulder. He may have died from hypothermia if he did not actually die from the arrowhead. His body was preserved in the ice in very good condition. It was not full of disease. He was very healthy. I don't think that he died in a robbery because we are not positive that he is a shepherd. Would the robbers want other things than sheep? I also think it was unlikely that he was assassinated. He had the blood of other people on him. Maybe he could have had tattoos from war. The copper ax that was found could have been used in a battle as well. I actually think that it is hard to choose a theory because they all have pretty good evidence.PaytonL period 4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-25359064936888365862010-09-22T20:32:50.841-05:002010-09-22T20:32:50.841-05:00I believe that Otzi was a victim of robbery.

Otzi was likely to be robbed if he was a shepherd because people would have wanted his sheet. In the video I learned that Otzti’s backpack was empty and his belongings were missing – so his stuff was probably stolen. I believe the arrowhead found in his left shoulder was shot by a robber. After Otzi was shot down, I believe the robber probably took his prized possessions, including his shoes and the sheep. This is why were no sheep and an empty backpack found next to Otzi’s body. <br /><br />I believe the hypothermia theory is wrong because if he died from hypothermia why was there an arrow in his left shoulder? <br /><br />I believe the assassination theory is wrong because I do not believe the deterioration on his joints is not enough proof that Otzi was a leader. I believe his copper axe was not a sign of his leadership it was used to do everyday tasks as a shepherd.<br /><br />I believe the died in battle theory is wrong because if he was in a battle there would be a lot more dead people around him. The scientists looked and didn’t find any other people.Drew J 8thnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-48996691319620114992010-09-22T20:23:25.647-05:002010-09-22T20:23:25.647-05:00I think Otzi was a robbery victim. I think he was ...I think Otzi was a robbery victim. I think he was a shepherd. I think he was a shepherd because he had the appropriate clothing for the job of moving sheep up the mountain. Also during the time of year he died it was common for shepherds to move their flock to the pastures of the Alps. Also Otzi had pollen in his stomach. This pollen is found in the spring trees were shepherds commonly led their flocks. An arrow head in his shoulder leads me to think that someone shot him for his sheep. He died hours after the shot. The robbers saw his flock and wanted it for their own profit. When Otzi saw the men coming after him, he ran away. The robbers chased him and shot him in the back with an arrow, killed him, and took his sheep. Otzi also could have been assassinated. He had a copper ax; they were valuable and a sign of power. Only a leader would have an ax like this. Otzi also had mysterious tattoos on his body. These tattoos may have religious significance. He also could have been a religious leader. Maybe some people from the village did not like his political or religious service to the community. Maybe one of his followers had a disagreement with him and murdered him. The world may never know who Otzi was and how he died. These are my theories on how Otzi the Iceman died.Jack Talcott Period6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-28373507792938960452010-09-22T20:13:08.902-05:002010-09-22T20:13:08.902-05:00Otzi was an iceman that is 5,300 years old, and he...Otzi was an iceman that is 5,300 years old, and he was found in the alps after a mysterious defrost from the weather (that is what I think). Otzi was defenitly not killed by hyptothermia otherwise why would he have an arrowhead in his back? He couldn't of died in battle because there was no other bodies nonetheless footprints or any kind of compromisation near him. I think he died by assanation because There would be no reason for him to be a robber, and he had 59 tatoos which mabye means he was a leader. And his clothing was showing that he was a shepherd.<br /><br /> Otzi had been defrosted in an archeologal site, and they took many samples includeing his tounge, mouth, and nose. Otzi was not found with his cloths, bit they found him nearby, and i think it just blew off him a long time ago or the assasanator took it and dropped it. The police database could reconstruct his face being bald and eyes and mouth shut, but they reconstructed that too, so it looked like a real caveman.<br /><br /> Otzi was taken to the hospital, but it wasn't easy, they had to take him out of the refrigeration and speed him there with a police escort. The hospital took thousands of pictures, and found an arrowhead in his shoulder, shot from the back, which is another thing about the battle, unless if he was retreating<br />from battle, he wouldn't have been shot in the back, nevertheless, with an arrow. After defrosting and taking a samples from him, the people noticed a black spot on his lung, it may have been a slight place where it started to decompose! Luckely, it was just a false alarm, and the people saw an arrowhead, which they diddn't know that is was, of corse, alas, forcing them to go to the hospital.<br /><br /><br /> --do not count this part--<br /><br /><br /> That is most of what I learned by the Otzi movie that we watched. I hope I did great on it!Gage H. 4th pdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999629776052329304.post-62791066676876446222010-09-22T20:06:22.638-05:002010-09-22T20:06:22.638-05:00Otzi the Iceman was found near Hauslabjoch in the ...Otzi the Iceman was found near Hauslabjoch in the Otzal Alps on September 19, 1991, by Helmut and Erika Simon, two vacationing German hikers. But when he and his wife looked closer, they realized that they were looking at the body of a person, lying face down in some melting ice. They found Otzi the iceman between Austria and Italy. Otzi's clothing was leather pants, animal hide jacket, cape, fur cap, soft shoes stuffed with hay for warmth) People also believe he was 5'2, brown hair, tattoos on body ( ankle, lower back, knee cap= not for decoration.) They also believe that his last meal was wheat bread, green herbs or veggies, and meat was found in his colon. They believe he was 45 years old. How you ask? Dry, yellow skin like a mummy It’s been preserved in the ice. He was the oldest mummy ever found. I believe he died because of hypothermia.Why because he was found dead on top of a(n) mountain covered with snow and ice. I don't think he died because of pollen because how would he have pollen in his stomach in the winter? Becasue no flowers will be found in the winter. I do not believe that he was assassinated because i doubt there were people around him in the journey he was on. Like i said before I doubt there were alot of people on his long cold journey. There for I believe he died because of hypothermia.Katie B 4thnoreply@blogger.com
