One of the most incredible mysteries and a government’s cultural treasure was the discovery of Itzi. Another name the press has given him is the iceman because of where he was found. He was discovered high up on the Europeans Alps where he traveled 11,000 feet. It was later figured out he is 5,300 years old through carbon dating. This makes him the oldest human body found intact. His discovery is incredible because it opened a new window into the past and life that was before the birth of Christ as well as the pyramids. After about 10 years of the discovery evidence suggested something violent happened seeing as how an arrowhead was found imbedded in his back as well as valuable stuff around him was not taken.

This brings an entire group of researchers back to the body once again to figure out who killed Itzi and why. About two dozen researchers meet at Bolzano Museum to try to extract the arrowhead. Researcher Dr. Egarter Vigl will be joining Anthropologist Albert Zink who is leading the procedure. In order to obtain the arrow they must first thaw the mummy. They will have a total of 9 hours before they must freeze Itzi again. Two kinds of methods are actually being followed here, one being the scientific method and the historically research method. While one will help us trying to figure out what happened to Itzi based on questions, observations, and evidence, the other is to continue updating history’s timeline by focusing on the past to continue drawing conclusions that might impact the present or future. When looking at the copper axe this brings incredible insights because up until 2,000 years ago we had it in our heads that that’s when it started but in reality people knew how to weld metal 5,000 years ago! By unfreezing him they hope to find some answers that might uncover the real truth. A fight among hunters? A jealous community member? Much can be talked about when talking about this situation. It clear from the start that the copper
