Modern historical theory, which is considered a classical science, has many holes and holes. It is quite obvious that in the light of various finds around the world, it becomes clear that the concept, which is recognized in official history, does not accurately reflect the past. Around the globe every year archaeologists discover various artifacts that do not fit into this most generally accepted theory. Some researchers believe that the lack of material artifacts and sources does not allow science to draw a complete conclusion about the history of mankind. Thus, modern science can be compared to a picture with many parts. In some places, puzzles are missing and therefore it is difficult to draw a conclusion about the picture that is on this puzzle. Now we will try to consider another puzzle, which,undoubtedly falls out of the general classical theory, but is very important for understanding the present past of mankind.
Find history
In September 1991, a couple from Nuremberg made a short trip to the Alpine mountains. While descending the mountain, Erika Simonami noticed a strange object sticking out of the ice. Coming closer, she realized with horror that these were the remains of a man who had turned into a real mummy. The police officers who arrived at the scene suggested that the remains belonged to some tourist. After the criminologists removed the body from the ice and handed it over to experts for examination, it was established that these remains are very many years old.
Find place
The find turned out to be a real sensation for the public. Therefore, immediately after the publication of information about the discovery of an ancient mummy in the ice, representatives of various countries began to claim their rights to this find. After a lengthy dispute, it was established that the discovery was made in Italy, just 100 meters from the Austrian border. Later, a 4-meter monument was erected at the site of the find. In 1997, the mummy was transferred to the South Tyrol Museum of Archeology in Bolzano, where it is currently located.

Name for the mummy
The find should have been identified somehow. As a rule, to designate any found artifact, they use the name located near geographical points, cities, mountains, rivers. However, the ice man was found in an area where all the graphic points have rather complicated names. The town of Hauslabjoch is located not far from the place of discovery, it is impossible not to agree that such a name is very difficult to pronounce. Another town of Tizenjoch is not mapped at all on the world map. Government officials are at a standstill with the choice of a name for this find. It should be noted that the public is also quite actively involved in this process. 1000 different names for this find have been proposed. Among them, the most interesting are the following: mountain Wendel, a man in ice, a man from the past and just Ice Cream. However, government officials ignored such an extensive public urge to address this issue. Subsequently, the name of the valley, which is located near the place of discovery, was used to designate the ice man. The valley is called Etszal, but the find was abbreviated as Etsi.
Find research
In 1997, a decision was made to defrost Ötzi for a short time. Researchers were able to comprehensively examine the remains and take samples for various analyzes. After conducting various studies, a group of doctors was able to establish that the growth of this man was about 166 centimeters. During his lifetime, Ötzi weighed about 55 kilograms, and this man died at the age of 50. The mummy is approximately 5 - 6,000 years old. Analysis of tooth enamel dust showed that he was born in northern Italy. His remains contained a large amount of lead and copper, which suggests his involvement in the metallurgical industry. An arrowhead was found in his body, which suggests that Ötzi participated in the battles. Amazingly, the appearance of this person does not differ from people living in northern Italy.
57 different designs were found on the mummy's body. Some of them were made in the form of crosses, straight lines and dots. Scientists initially concluded that these drawings have a certain sacred character. The tattoos were done under the knees, at the folds of the joints and along the spine. Scientists did not immediately notice that these drawings were made in those places that are used for acupuncture.
Such discoveries allow us to look differently at the history of this person and the entire region as a whole. Official history believes that the birthplace of acupuncture treatment tactics is in the eastern countries. Hence, it is legitimate to assume that this practice arose about 4000 years ago. However, markings on the mummy's body suggest that this practice was known to European people much earlier.
The tattoos are made in an unusual way. Charcoal was poured into the cut on the skin, this procedure was repeated several times. After examining the tattoos, scientists came to the conclusion that charcoal was not the only ingredient that was poured into wounds. There are traces of some plants that are used in folk medicine as powerful pain relievers. Thus, we can conclude that at that time a person already knew the properties of various plants, and also knew how to use it to relieve pain. Most likely, a person suffered from arthritis during his lifetime, so such treatment procedures were carried out quite often.
Equipment
Oetzi was well equipped. Obviously, he was familiar with the local climate and the passage through the mountains was not unusual for him. His equipment consisted of a leather vest, a fur hat, a loincloth, trousers, a waterproof raincoat, and dry straw. The footwear of this person stands out. It was made from 3 different animal species. The sole was made of bear skin, the upper part of the shoe was made of deer hide, the veins that were used as the timing most likely belonged to the wild boar. In addition, there was a warm cape made of bear skin in the backpack. In addition to things, scientists found tools, weapons and even medicines on him. Ötzi was well prepared for the campaign, he had arrowheads made of copper and silicon. Various knives, in addition, he was found to have tinder for making a fire. The dried mushrooms were most likely used as medicines.
Particular attention must be paid to the ax that was found on him. First of all, the ax was made of copper. The very existence of such an artifact makes the whole theory regarding the emergence of civilization in the European expanses not entirely correct. The official concept states that a person living in the territory of modern Europe learned to process copper not earlier than the first millennium BC. It turns out that people existed long before the first millennium, and knew how to make tools of labor from copper.
Causes of death
After the discovery of the remains, a theory was put forward that this man was simply frozen in the mountains. However, subsequent research, involving forensic scientists and various analyzes, dispelled this theory. It can be said with a great deal of certainty that Oetzi was killed. A knife found in his hand proves that this man fought to the last drop of blood. Five different types of blood, belonging to different people, were found on his clothes. Two different types of blood were found on the quiver of arrows, it can be assumed that he managed to wound or kill two attackers, and then yank the arrows out of his body and take them with him. Traces of blood from two more people were found on a knife, a leather vest and pants. Huge stains of blood were found on his shoulders, as if Oetzi had been helping a wounded man walk for a long time.
On the body, the researchers found traces of a violent death. He suffered four stab wounds. In addition, his ribs, nose and right arm were broken. However, the question arises: why did the attackers leave valuables in the form of tools and weapons at the body, and did not take everything with them? …
Summing up, we can conclude that there are a lot of mysteries and modern science still has something to work on …
