Shocking Discovery

It seemed his death might be shrouded in mystery forever. Then on June in the year of 2001, his new custodians, twhich were the Italians, decided to X-ray the body over again. Finally, a local hospital radiologist noticed what looked like a foreign object near the shoulder of Ötzi the Iceman, it was a shadow in the shape of an arrow. Firstly, when they looked at the density, they found it was denser than the bones; it was the same density as flint. They had discovered a stone arrowhead was embedded in Ötzi's shoulder, which had been missed out in site of 10 years of intensive study of Ötzi’s remains.


Again, scientists can tell a new story of the Iceman's death, which means another conclusion had arrived. The scientists believed that Ötzi was attacked and then he managed to flee. As he ran to escape and save himself, he was shot in the back with an arrow. He then pulled out the arrow shaft but the head of the arrow remained stuck in his shoulder. He reached the top of the mountains but was then already exhausted and had weakened from the bleeding in his shoulder caused by the arrow. He could not go further anymore, and finally laid down and died.


Despite this story has fit the latest result, there are also still so many unanswered questions t Ötzi the Iceman’s death. Scientists hope soon to conduct an autopsy to remove the arrowhead and only then will we be able to say for certain what killed Ötzi. The Iceman may have still be hiding more secrets inside his remains.
