Is it true?

Question

well i heard from somewhere that some hikers found a caveman and he is now going under some autopsy to see or find out what it was that he last ate....
and theory is that he might have fell in a crack in the ice crossing over the ice bridge and froze to death and as time passed by all the ice and snow have eroded away and that was supposedly how they found him....
and i was jud wondering if it was really true and what did scientists find out from this dead body???
jus some thoughts i had swimming around and wanted to know someone knew of anything...?

Answer 1

The Man in the Ice

In September 1991, Erika and Helmut Simon were walking in the Alps near the Austrian border with Italy, when they came upon the body of a dead mountaineer. Only the head was visible above the ice. It appeared to be the body of a woman, and they assumed that she might have died ten or twenty years ago. In the Alps, it has sometimes been known for people to die in accidents and get enclosed by ice. The body then moves slowly down the mountain in the glacier and can emerge up to thirty years later.

They returned to the village and told the innkeeper, who in turn informed the police. In the next few days, before the body can be recovered, several people visited the site, and it became obvious from equipment found nearby, including an unusual ice-pick, that the climber may have died sometime in the last century. The body was finally released from the ice, brought down the mountain by helicopter and then taken by hearse to Innsbruck.

Suspicions that the body might be very much older were confirmed by Konrad Spindler. He examined the body, the "ice-pick" and other items found with the body. He concluded that the axe was either early bronze age or late Neolithic, and therefore that the body was at least 4000 years old. (It was later dated as late Neolithic, or about 5000 years old).

Answer 2

This is indeed true - The Ice Man (as hes come to be called) was found by hikers in the Swiss Alps. DNA has proven he's over 5000 years old.
To get in depth information about him, type "Ice Man + Alps" into your search engine (like Google or Yahoo)

Answer 3

there is a book that was written about the " Ice Man " several years ago. there have been further studies and the last I heard was this person had been in a struggle, tried to escape and was shot by an opponent with an arrow. this struggle led to weakness and helped lead to his death.

Answer 4

Yes its true. Been there a very long time. Turns out he had been hit by an arrow and died where he lay.
