Iceman Otzi was a Fighter 245

Posted by michael from the purple-heart dept.
Theatetus writes "Yahoo! News is running a story from USA Today that Otzi the iceman's murder is more complicated than we thought. It seems Otzi had blood on his clothes and knife from four different people in patterns that suggested he took out two with his bow and carried a wounded or dead person over his shoulder. I sense an action movie in the making..." If you don't remember Otzi, read the original story.

      This part of the article is interesting...

      "'but Otzi is the first known homosexual man that enjoyed being [made a receptacle of lust].... Otzi was the passive partner--of this there is absolutely no doubt.... The sperm was carbon dated.'"

      Y'know, at first, I thought: Why would they bother? He's been dead for like 60,000 years; why bother carbon-dating it? Can't we be sure that it's just about as old as ol' Otzi here? Even necrophiliacs wouldn't stoop that low.

      Then I thought: Wait a minute, I'm questioning the bottom-line standards of necrophiliacs.

      Then I stopped thinking about the issue altogether because I didn't like where it was heading. Ick.

      Well, the article seems to suggest that the scientists concluded that Otzi had attempted to remove the arrow from his back, but only succeeded in removing the shaft, leaving the point in his shoulder.

      He was found clutching his knife, with indications from cuts on his hands that he was in a knife fight. With bruises to his torso that indicate he may have been beaten.

      Seems to me the evidence does seem to point to the scenario: he was shot, pulled the shaft from his body, and was in a running fight that ended with a nasty close-up knife fight, which resulted in his demise.

        Lets start from the beginning shall we.

        The first conclusion was that he was walking the alps in Autmn. A sudden storm blew up and he died of Hypothermia.

        The guys that proposed this theory and missed the huge (well not huge but not tiny) arrowhead stuck in his shoulder.

        Then somebody grabbed samples of 5000 old turd from his anus and discovered spring pollen. So the next theory I believe was that he got into a fight, someone/s beat the shit out of him breaking his ribs and he fled into the mountains, collapsed and died of shock.

        Then lo and behold somebody spotted the arrowhead. So then we get the shot in the back theaory and the rib deformation was determined to be post mortem, caused by the pressure of the ice he was frozen in.

        Now because they've found bruises on his rib area , the entire Ice pressure hypothesis goes out the window and we're back to the beating, but with a twist. Blood samples on his shoulder spontaneously exagerates into a wounded wisecracking side kick. Other blood samples become ninja assassins and Otzi is now a Lowly Sheep-Hearder turned Vigilante Out for Justice(TM).

        Have these guys ever heard of Ockham's Razor? I'm no foresic scientist, but this does not seem like the simplest explanation too me.

        In fact this smacks of sensationlism aimed at Joe & Jane Sixpack, so these guys can grab more funding.

        I work in research and if I cooked up a wild story everytime I think I've discovered the 21st Century's version of DNA, my boss would have my head.

        • He was clutching a bloodied knife (human blood, but not his own) and had cuts on both hands. Blood from two other people on the tips of an arrow in his quiver, and across his back. Plus a broken arrow in his own back. Why don't you step forward with your hum-drum explanation so we can go back to assuming that ancient man was a gentle and peaceloving creature who sometimes fell victim to the harsh elements?
          • And once again someone entirely misses my point.

            I'm not claiming the theory is false or true for that matter. I'm questioning the need to sensationlize it like this, instead of just presenting the facts.

It just makes them look stupid whenever a new disovery is made that disproves it. While its hard to argue that he hadn't been shot with an arrowhead staring you in the face, its

    It's a bit boring and slow at times, but overall pretty interesting. The most memorable piece of the book describes hikers and local police/government types hacking at the ice and mud that Otzi was frozen in, irreparably damaging the corpse...breaking the bow (& arrows) in half by snapping it off in the ice when trying to pry it out of the frozen muck. The initial discover of Otzi was nothing less than a tragedy for science.

    The book also discusses in detail all the political BS that went along with the discovery...whether he was found in Italy or Austria and who really "owned" Otzi. One big mess, really...
