Still Waters Posted June 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2013 An injury to the head, not an arrow wound, may have killed Ötzi the Iceman, the 5,300-year-old mummy found in the Italian Alps, says a new paleoproteomic study into the brain of Europe’s oldest natural human mummy. The protein investigation appears to support a 2007 research into the mummy’s brain. The study pointed to a cerebral trauma as the cause of death. http://news.discover...#mkcpgn=rssnws1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyche101 Posted June 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Fascinating how we just keep learning. I have been trying to keep up with Otzi news, there always seems to be something else to learn. Thanks for posting this. I am not big on the cerimonial burial hypothesis though. Seems rather a stretch to be frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
