i was watching a documentary on BBC (English TV channel) about the 5000 year old ice man(nicknamed, 'otzi') found murdered in the alps.The skeleton, skin and weapons were preserved, and even his clothes, and the food in his stomach were found (bleugh!).For the full story.. try this link... www.american.edu/TED/iceman.htm ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: He ate his last meal in the spring (Pollen test confirmed it), his meal consisted of a meat, bread and vegetable mix.He later must have been in a fight and was injured by an flint-tipped arrow, that he pulled out, but the flint stayed in his back.He then fled his way up the Alps, only to die of frostbite/hyperthermia.
