Oetzi: Putting A Face To The Name

Twenty years after his ice preserved body was found the 5,000-year-old "Iceman" discovered on the border between Italy and Austria we can now see Dutch artist Adrie Kennis' impression of what Oetzi would have looked like.

Glad you liked it - he's the nearest thing Europe has to an "Ishi" I'm totally fascinated by him myself.

So important, his body and his EDC are such an amazing window back into our past. What would someone make of finding my body and the bits and pieces in my pockets? Then again if they found the stuff in your pockets that would throw them completely!

Cheers
