A Man With 5300 years Old Food

What interesting thing did you read today?

 

Well , the food was extracted from the oldest ever preserved human’s stomach.


The body was discovered in 1991 by two mountaineers hiking in the Ötztal Alps of southern Austria . At first they thought it was body of a mountaineer who died recently as it showed only some decay.

On examining the remains , they found out that the body was 5300 years old stunningly protected by the cold mountain climate.

Previously Xin Zhui was the oldest being 2000 years old

 

Since 2009 they were trying to locate the stomach , which was found way up near the lungs under the ribs via radiography.

Ötzi the Iceman…

What’s more, like Ötzi himself, the contents of his stomach were extraordinarily well preserved.

His last meal was… 

Ötzi’s last meal consisted of ibex meat and fat, red deer, and traces toxic bracken fern.

 

 

So there might be a question..How did he die?

Ötzi's death--most popular theory—is that he was murdered by other hunters while fleeing through the mountains.

They found an arrowhead on his back!!
