[Awesomegirl286]

This vid is AWESOME!!!!

[outinthewoodscan]

Hi everyone... if you like learning about Otzi, than you might like my blog. Type outinthewoodsofcanada into a search engine and you should find it. It discusses a possible function for four of the things the Iceman was found with. Maybe another small mystery was solved? LOL

[LTPDfilms]

@strangerlover11 His body is not frozen in ice. His limbs would still be plyable! It's not a hard concept, you ignorant fuck. Why would they fake this? Who would benefit?

[nousernameremain]

¡El pene y los testículos no fueron amputados! Simplemente se encogieron hasta extremos increíbles... De todo esto habla Konrad Spindler en el libro «El hombre de los hielos»... Aparte de ese fallo, este documental es interesante.

[tarxantoo]

very very very old get that ax chop it up i mean out you missed a spot chop it again a idiot would have stoped when he saw the flint knife(04:30) or grass the shoes but no chop it again just plain stupid

[Omegaepic]

hi! uh great great great...how many greats was that..... u=never mind i will just call ya grandpa otizi what are you doing? otzi:being cool

[KateForte]

strangelover11.. Well DUH! If they had to re-enact it for the Horizon programme (which is entirely possible and based on the camerawork, highly probable) of COURSE they're not going to stick the real iceman body back in the ice... Heck, any intelligent person would do the same... think before you post conspiracy please :)

[o3oSeyren]

how cool :O I've read in a national geographic magazine and I was really interested in this xD wow. it's scary O_O and cool at the same time <3 Otzi <3 wee lol! and *ahem* he's not fake or anything like that <__< d'oh

[strangerlover11]

Totally fake how could you get a thousands year old frozen body and when the

guy moving it , it was totally elastic frozen body does not moved hand or feet or

any part of body you idiots......hahahahhaha

[LTPDfilms]

@strangerlover11 You are such an idiot.

[strangerlover11]

@LTPDfilms And you are totally brainwashed idiot......hahahah

[Nativesurvival]

Wow what incredible incompetence hacking at the mummy with an ice pick, standing it, hitting, poking, pulling.. you can see the hacked damage on the legs when they show it on the table the first time.. He got an idea it might be old when he found a flint knife...... you think?

[Darkhotanddeadly]

I can't believe those idiots that called themselves 'professionals' could do such damage to the corpse. Stepping on top of Otzi and using no special equipments to remove the previous body from the ice??? What were they thinking????

[littlemisssunshin825]

I watched part 2 in a history lesson..i was ill when we watched part 1 and so i had to watch it on you tube at home.....i have to fill in a sheet but it hasnt given me the answers my teacher wants....can anybody help??

[0oNiels0o]

I saw this documentary on school in the history lesson.

After that someone got nicknamed as ötzi. The poor kid

[djuuwi]

Me: Hello great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. How you doing?

Otzi: I'm chillin'

[pankclaw]

@djuuwi I think it would be a lot more greats then that.

[chhayla168]

i'm curious about his death. Once i've read this story in my book ( Headway Upper-Intermediate ) i saw his picture like that.

[thoostorm4]

@chhayla168 nuccaplease tryin to promote yer stinky book

[thegools]

archeology hack job. What a sorry job they did hacking and tearing things apart.

[10delaware]

Rainer Henn didn't have a clue what he was doing when he recovered the body. His actions show you the sorry state of forensics in Europe.

[Glitterypurplesea]

i started studying mummies since i was 6 im 13 now so i know alot about them

[mojototal]

He lost his penis and testicles. Somehow, men lose those while they're still alive.

[RaeNotBae]

We did this report today on Utzi he was found on the border of italey and austria.he was bleed to death and shot at with a boween arrow.he was born in the natholic age.

[Starbucks864]

ITS SO UGGLY. HE LOST HIS TESTICALS (penis) !

[Starbucks864]

ITS SO UGGLY

[jaredschadt1]

ya i did to today im in sixth grade its so fucking dramatic

[sugar6486]

@jaredschadt1 if yourr in sixth gade, you shouldnt be cursing like that. 

[LittlerobotPresent]

why is soo many important discovery or main things happening on my birthday, 1993....

[Brooklyn149isGOLD]

i saw a vid of this guy in school and i wanted to know if a vid of him was on youtube..and i guess he was..what happened to his eyeballs?

[HyperGolem]

Ofcourse, after thousands of years the softest parts of the body will disintegrate...

[sairoku]

@Brooklyn149isGOLD the eye balls decomposed

[whopper1209]

@Brooklyn149isGOLD Probably still decayed.

If you knew, he was laying in ice for almost 5000 years.

[medicalcenterofadel]

@Brooklyn149isGOLD His Eyes Dried Overtime And mumified with his body

[loveumileyurock]

@Brooklyn149isGOLD Me too. The organs dont work once you die. The eyeballs melted in the Alps on the hundredth year. Its really amazing

[BestChefEva]

@Brooklyn149isGOLD They Melted... LOL Idk

[Nothin282]

@Brooklyn149isGOLD They just decomposed after a period of time.. :P

[xGameboy753]

@Brooklyn149isGOLD

i also saw a video of otzi too in school

[bluewaffle69haha]

i know i was their

[Mario85555]

That eskimo baby corpse was creepy....

[cole505wso]

Okay everyone who thinks they discovered how Otzi died, shush!! They STILL dont know! They're all theories. It was a long long long time ago it will be hard to know exactly what happened

[MsCocopops22]

@opeyer924 Me too!! :D

[opeyer924]

learning about him in history

[deadbrad]

The first Yo Momma insult had terrible consequences for this guy

[siegelism]

It was discovered to be the first murder.

[NMHAJA]

@siegelism LOL the first murder was comitted by the son of prophet adam

[cole505wso]

@siegelism No it wasn't. They still don't know. That's a theory they're testing. I think it was robbery.

[Dexflame67]

@siegelism naw cain killing abel was the first murder

[MoeyJurph11]

Scientists theories say that he crossed into another tribes' territory and the killed him.

[jettenjetta]

so sad i bet they ruined so much evidence. Really sad.

[dappleback]

FFFFFF They're handling him so roughly! D8 Bodies are delicate, guys! >3<

[samuel41111]

that was in the stone age!! otzi had copper axe! cave men knew how to get copper and make a axe!

[MoeyJurph11]

@samuel41111 That was the bronze age

[Mr21Franz]

@samuel41111 Stonage????? with a copper axe? - never. Stoneage is just what it says - Stoneage. Copper is too soft for an axe so there had to be tin in = a bronze hammer that contains more copper than tin - so it was the bronze age.

[mrmishka67]

Had to do this for history assignment :(

[OzaawaaMigiziNini]

The fact that he was not just left with all of his belongings, but buried up there, shows that the person cared about his afterlife. I think hunting accident or sacrifice long before I think anger or greed focused murder...

[aXlisful]

pamenu mokykloi skaitem apie si zmogu

[Damdiea]

one of the odd things about the shot to his back is that the staff of the arrow was pulled out which could mean that he pulled it out himself or the attacker did it. if he pulled it out himself how come they didn't find it even though other arrow which he had been making were found.

[hector1987huerta]

TROLL? GAY! FINDA NEW WORD :D

[terrorizerr1]

nobody will ever know who he was, why he has kill an by who!

[MsArgentana]

When first it was discovered newspapers wrote about a 7500 B.P. yrs old shaman..

[americangangsterism]

gud try keep up the gud work finding the mama man otzi pudera

[americangangsterism]

i think he is gay

[sawu101]

Why would he get shot by an arrow? the person who shot him obviously must of reclaimed the arrows becuase back then it was a long time trying to make arrows so if he got shot the killer would of taken the arrow and all the arrows he had on him. So i think he didn't get shot in the back he must of fell on 1 of his own.

[SnuNeonCookies]

@sawu101 That is possible but he would have had to fall from a high level because the arrowhead was 4 inches into his body, and straight into his shoulerblade.

[sawu101]

@SnuNeonCookies maybe he did fall

[aussietanker]

lol he lost his penis

[porkupine73]

Man they really fucked that excavation scene up. That sucks.

[Bigschwang]

they completely destroyed him and his belongings ... shame, probably still some precious stuff out there in the mud

[NgJackal1990]

@Bigschwang Go out there and find some lol. You might help scientists to discover the uncovered items!

[Heygorgeous345]

This section of the alps is called the Otzaler Alps , taking its name from the long, narrow , Otzal valley and the body is commonly known today by the nickname "Otzi"

[Pikar100]

painful to watch how they brutaly excavating body : (

[abd2get]

could anyone explain me how they figured out his name was ottzi ?

[gnikyarrum]

@k0vert yes it was

[k0vert]

@gnikyarrum You fed the troll too woohoo

[gnikyarrum]

@irishbreakfast WTF? i'm thirteen and i know that otzi died at roulghy aged 45 not 900!

[Siniquity]

The people who attempted to excavate him were extremely unprofessional. Some of the damage done to the body may have been recent, due to them basically digging him up blindfolded. Might as well just put TNT on his left side, and a net on the right.

[ImperialGuard9001]

Apparently he was killed during a skirmsh he has blood of just not one individual so it wasnt just one agianst one but probaly several man fighing he has blood of 4 different individuals at least in his ax blade and arrows since he has in arrows blood of several he is beleived that he used arrows several times to kill and retrieve them also he had blood of a individual on his cloths it has been suggested that was a wounded comrade that he carried his death was probaly a raiding party gone wrong

[irishbreakfast]

and no,the arrow wound was well-healed over.he just couldnt get it out.in his pouch he had antibiotics and other medicine.thats the way they lived.you had to do it all yourself or you died.if you took care of yourself,you lived to be 900 back then.your wisdom teeth came in at 75years old and at 130 you were like a twenty-year old.we get a really raw deal nowadays.120 is our top age now if we take PERFECT care of our selves!RAW DEAL,MAN!!

[k0vert]

@irishbreakfast I agree. It wasn't uncommon for Copper Age Europeans to live to be 300 years old sometimes.

[newtownlegends]

@k0vert

NOT true. The oldest age that people usually grew to, in any place, was around 40, which was very old at the time. He would have been one of the elders in his tribe/village and maybe a leader. Nobody would have ever lived to more than 100 years.

[k0vert]

@newtownlegends You got successfully trolled. Nice. xD

[newtownlegends]

@k0vert

I think you mean were.... That doesn't make me feel any less embarassed though. FUCK. nice one. Seriously should've seen that coming. Have fun making people feel like fuckwits.

I can't even go on Art Of Trolling anymore though. :(

[newtownlegends]

@k0vert What the hell are you doing on this video if all you wanted to do was troll? Why aren't you on a Ke$ha video or something? There's tasty troll food there ALL THE TIME.

[k0vert]

@newtownlegends Actually I was on this video because I found it legitmately interesting... after the video was over though, I just had to do it. I was not in control of my typing. The devil made me do it. xD

[sonofherne]

@irishbreakfast .lucky if you made it to 35 more like!

[irishbreakfast]

@sonofherne yeah,but in pre-flood times,you were like a 35year old physicly at your 340th birthday.its POST-flood pepole that had reduced lifespans,and they forgot a great deal of what man once knew about maintaining their health.and science,and ecology,and constuction,and technology,and cosmology,and everything else of old!!!to this day were still re-learning what man knew 500000 years ago!maybe in a few thousand years well know what they knew.unless something happens and we lose it all again!

[irishbreakfast]

he actually dates to about 50-60 tousand years.he died trying to avoid the great floods rising waters,but the sheets of slush from the sky got him just like the mammoths just after the first wave of boiling muddy water.he tried to head for the tallest peak but had to hunker down in a hole to try to avoid the thick slush coming down in heavy sheets.he came as close as anyone could on land to avoid it.i salute this poor souls will to live!!but only noahs family survived.

[LTPDfilms]

@irishbreakfast hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

1. Noah's ark isn't real (Just like the rest of the bible)

and

2. He was shot

[roygbiv330]

bronze age wow.

[yoyoman841]

he lost his penis 1:42

[8r3aking83njamin]

i tgought his name was utzi

[yoyoman841]

@8r3aking83njamin his names otzi

[TheSuperzack619]

he didnt fight he was in the aps because of survival and got caught in a storm he got dressed and fell asleep and never woke up for abot 5000 years ago

[korn11000]

were learning about this in science wich is wierd cuz i thought this was in social studies



[boru1982]

2000 BC isn't the early Bronze Age. I think theres a mix up in translation.

[ASIAICE2468]

we got this in my school and they say is 5000 years old not 4000?

[TheAnela123]

yo i am learning bout this in social studies and what school do u go to i am at Cloonan

[LTPDfilms]

@TheAnela123 Millions of people learn about this in school...you are an idiot.

[FunnyCats582]

omg im learnin about this in social studies and my teacher told me to come here

[TheAnela123]

@FunnyCats582 ikr me too at cloonan hbu

[boru1982]

@FunnyCats582 Thats some lazy teacher

[dancrr0]

GUYS IM LEARNING ABOUT HIM IN SOC. STUDIES. HE WAS IN COMBAT FROM 24-48 HOURS BEFORE HE DIED.

[Smiles9907]

I learned about him today in social studies. I think he was shot by an arrow by someone from his community. I think this cuz in xrays, it shows something very similar to an arrowhead.

[patd4u2]

It was discovered that he was shot by a arrow in the upper back and he bleed to death

[boru1982]

@patd4u2 He was indeed shot in the the shoulder by a flint arrow-head but it is unlikely that this was the cause of his death. Initially it was thought that he died from exposure to the elements but after studying the body, scientists not only found the shoulder wound but also found that he received a blow to the head which they believe is the most likely cause.

[SareSakiSu]

@patd4u2

there are many theories about otzi

it said that he was involved in a small fight

or

said to that pollen from hop hornbeam was in otzi's intestines

or

pollen from the air during autumn

there are so many theories on how otzi died

[saifsami11]

@patd4u2 no ur wrong he was shepherd and he got attacked by some strange people came attacked him and he made a run for up the mountainhe avoided sleeping then he he was so tired he slept and froze to death

[irishbreakfast]

@saifsami11 yeah.o.k. thats a beliveable story.NOONE RAN FO ANYONE BACK THEN!THEY STAYED TO FIGHT OR DIE!what?you think he said to his attackers'hold on a while.let me get my stuff together for a really long chase.i want to climb this freezing way steep mountain as high as i can go and still breathe to sit there and hide from you,instead of just going away ANYWHERE ELSE!like flat land thats easier??duh?or the forest?o even a hole in the ground?No. hes was fleeing the rising waters!

[LTPDfilms]

@irishbreakfast No......You couldn't be more wrong.

[MsCocopops22]

@patd4u2 You mean "An Arrow" :) Although u r right about being shot by one :)

[cole505wso]

@patd4u2 I know this was like a year ago but that's not correct. They still dont know exactly how he died to this day. He had a hole in his shoulder and head. The arrow that caused the hole in the shoulder made it paralyzed. He died because of the whole in his hea.d

[pocayama2]

@cole505wso did they find any arrow near his corpse? The novel about his discovery and the investigations made on his body says they found a dagger, a bow and a flint. The novel was written by Davud Getz.

[cole505wso]

@pocayama2 Yea they found tons of things around him. Like his clothes and such. He might've died of hypothermia, but who knows! But yes they found an arrow near by. A few actually.

[cole505wso]

@pocayama2 Yea they found tons of things around him. Like his clothes and such. He might've died of hypothermia, but who knows! But yes they found an arrow near by. A few actually.

[CAPTAINxCOOKIES]

@patd4u2 your descriptions says he was discovered as a person of high importance. You and me both know thats bull shit, they cant track who was of importance that far back, much less ID the body...

[racerx8228]

@patd4u2 i read that he was murdered and he had a bunch of wounds and an arrow pierced through his shoulder. he also had a dagger clutched in his right hand.

[burnout188]

@patd4u2 it took a long time for him to bleed to death because he was found 12 hours from the place where he fought.

[luvhorses12345]

Interesting. I think he died from hypothermia or he was assassinated.

[TheFinnishBoyy]

Nice !

[arshdeep903]

i wathed this in my history class
