Question #2: the physical characteristics or marks on Otzi’s body Otzi the iceman has tattoos in multiple places and all places that have tattoos has strain...coincidence? No…. along time ago people used tattoos to help with pain (Don't know how that is supposed to help) but they did that. The two arrowheads….people think that he was shot with a bow or someone stabbed him with an arrow for now let's explain how he would have been stabbed by an arrow. So i think that the arrow could have broke if he was stabbed and that has happened twice and it's obvious how he would have been shot with a bow …show more content…
Gender? Religion? Scientists have determined that otzi is Similaun from Hauslabjoch and he was male also he was in his forties so that rules out him being dead of old age (if it hasn't already been ruled out yet} his body is 5000 years old and is the oldest natural mummy (Well most preserved mummy) scientist could tell that he was 5000 because of carbon 14. And they used technology to find out that he was in his forties Now lets go on to the next
The Mummy Case of Paankhenamun has great significant in that it provides us with very fundamental evidence from ancient history. It does not only exhibit a complex form of art, but it also demonstrates the religious practices of ancient Egyptians in association with their beliefs in life after death, as well as their great fascination with immortality. It not only teaches us about the great science of mummification, but it also provides us all with the incredible opportunity to learn about the life of an ancient person.
There are many wonders that we have not found out of King Tut, one of the most intriguing ones is how did the young pharaoh die. Many hypothesis have been made, but will the truth ever come out. King Tutankhamen was found to be in a very early age when we died, how could all of a sudden be told as dead. He had many injuries that were confirmed during an autopsy. Some of these injuries were a cut on Tut’s cheek, Tut’s rib cage was missing, and a fragment of bone was found in his skull due to a hit to the head. You can clearly tell that all those damages could have been caused by someone. All this evidence points out that it was Queen Ankhesenamun who murdered the Pharaoh Tutankhamen.
Tragically, the butchered upper-torso of Winter’s once-robust body was stumbled upon by his father, who had noticed the absence of his son since Sunday, March 11 (Smith 2002, 25-26). Unsurprisingly, an investigation occurred to obtain the identity and whereabouts of the murderer. When the various pieces of the body are found in differing areas of the town, theory begins to formulate that the murder was conducted by one of the two butchers in town; Adolph Lewy, a Jew, and Gustav Hoffman, a Christian, due to the precision of the cuts made upon Winter’s body (Smith 28).
Intense debate has raged on for 92 years on the mysterious and untimely death of Tutankhamun. Some believe he was killed in a chariot accident, others suspect foul play but the theory backed up by the most convincing evidence is that he died from a combination of weak bones’ and Malaria.
Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus was born in approximately 163 B.C.E to Tiberius Gracchus the Elder and Cornelia Africana. Gaius Gracchus, his younger brother, was born in 154 B.C.E. In the 2nd century B.C., the two brothers formed “The Gracchi”. The two, born plebeians, belonged to one of the most influential families in Rome, the Sempronia. Their father was the tribune of the plebs, the praetor, consul and censor. Fatherless from a young age, they were taught democratic views by tutors. As they grew older and gained influence, their goal became to restructure Rome in a way that benefited the underprivileged and unfortunate. At the time, their help was especially welcome as members of the Populare, a political group whose purpose was to serve the people, rather than the aristocracy (like the Optimates). The ideals of the Gracchi leaned towards what people today would call populism or socialism; in fact, they are almost reverently called “the founding fathers” (Fife 1) of the aforementioned political parties. The brothers were perhaps so interested in restoring the rights of the people because of the dichotomy of their plebeian births within a noble line.
Otzi, they say, was the leader of a group of early people. And he was the oldest person of that time, and had many health issues. One of his health issues was that had heart disease. Also, they found that Otzi had anatomical abnormalities, such as no wisdom teeth and he was missing a 12th pair of ribs. From the evidence that the historians found, Otzi was most likely not favored among leaders, so he most likely, from the to-be leader of the
Maybe against a different clan, maybe he was guarding his territory, or maybe his village or campsite was attacked and he escaped into the mountains where his attackers followed him. Another theory is that he was a sacrifice who willingly offered himself to be killed for his Gods or some ritual that they followed back then. The last theory, and the one I think has the most evidence in favor of it, is that he was murdered by someone from his clan, or at least a lone man who wanted revenge on him, but did not want to be identified. In the next few paragraphs I’m going to tell the story of why I think Ötzi was killed by a man in his clan, supported by facts that I gathered from
The attacker slashed its knife, and the desperate hiker tried his best to defend himself. As the last punch was thrown the hiker toppled over and his head hit hard on a rock that laid beneath him. He was knocked unconscious as his attacker struck an arrow through his back. There are many theories as to of how Otzi died, and for years scientists have been researching to find the answer. Our new twenty first century technologies such as CAT scans and x-rays have led us to new discoveries. Otzi the iceman was killed in hand to hand combat. According to the article, Otzi is believed to be involved in some sort of hand to hand combat because of defensive wounds on his hands and wrists. Multiple tests also found that there was blood from 4 different
Alfred Olango, a black defenceless man, was shot dead by El Cajon police near San Diego, California due to a unacceptable opened fire. This was partly due to his race. A reason for the occurrence of this incident is that Olango, as stated by his mother, was suffering a “mental breakdown”, regarding the death of his best friend. Due to Olango’s “mental breakdown” he had began to wander among the traffic. Olango’s sister had contacted the police several times, yet they responded an hour later. At the arrival of the officers, it took them a minute, at the most, to begin this shooting. After reviewing the video of this unfortunate incident, the weapon thought to be was a 4 inch vape pen (electronic cigarette).
Obrierika who had been gazing steadily at his friend's body, turned suddenly to the District commissioner and said ferociously: 'This man was one of the greatest men in Umofia. You drove him to kill himself, and now he will be buried like a dog...'
Adam Lanza is a person whose name will never be forgotten. On December 14th, 2012, Lanza fatally shot 27 people, 20 of which were first graders, all under the age of eight years, and seven adults, including his own mother. Lanza committed these crimes just moments before pointing the weapon he used to his head and pulling the trigger. Not only was Lanza's crime a shock to people around the world, but it majorly affected the peaceful town of Newtown, Connecticut in which the shootings took place.
A lot of controversies have surrounded the true identity of the birthplace of Olaudah Equiano with many publications publishing different statements regarding the whole issue. Olaudah Equiano sentiments did not help at all in coming up with the solution about his birthplace. On numerous occasions, Olaudah Equiano is quoted saying different statements regarding his exact birthplace either in Africa or South Carolina. However, the main issue that is much debatable as well is the fact that what would establish of Olaudah Equiano birthplace reflect on his narrative? I tend to think that his birthplace is very crucial in accepting his narrative. Thus this essay significantly acknowledges the theory that his exact birth place would
about a mans body found in 1991 in the Italian alps by Erika and Helmet Simon. These two very experienced climbers discovered a frozen Iceman wearing very little and strange clothing. The man had lain there for thousands of years and once Sykes and other scientist from Oxford analyzed his DNA, they found ...
Such an incredibly valuable find soon led to a jurisdictional argument between the Austrian and Italian governments and an immediate border survey was done, finding Otzi had been lying ninety-two meters inside of Italian territory. Italy gained legal possession of the body and artifacts, however in the interests of science and history, everything was kept at Innsbruck until a proper, climate-controlled facility was built at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy, where Otzi the Iceman now rests.
The article mentioned that there are a few mummies around the world who are as well preserved like Ötzi. The glacier that froze Ötzi kept his organs and skin largely intact, which helped scientist even more.
