Otzi The Iceman
Otzi the Iceman lived during the Copper age, specifically between 3400 and 3100 BCE. Other names of the well-preserved natural mummy were the Hauslabjoch mummy, the Tyrolean Iceman, the Man from Hauslabjoch, and the Similaun Man. He was discovered in the Ötztal Alps between Italy and Austria in September of 1991. Otzi is the oldest known natural human mummy of Europe, and his body and belongings are displayed in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology located in Bolzano, Italy.

What Otzi The Iceman Really Looked Like
The mummy of Otzi the Iceman has given us a look into the Europeans who lived in the Copper Age. The body was really well-preserved since it was in ice for roughly 5,300 years. The naturalistic reconstruction of Otzi would not have been possible if his body had not been discovered in such good condition. Because of the well-preserved body, archaeologists and scientists were able to get a pretty good idea of what he might have looked like many years ago.
