I’ve always been fascinated by archaeological discoveries, especially the really old ones, like Ötzi.
Ötzi the Iceman is a modern nickname of a well-preserved natural mummy of a man from about 3300 BC found in 1991 in the Schnalstal glacier in the Ötztal Alps, near Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy. The nickname comes from Ötztal, the region in which he was discovered. He is Europe’s oldest natural human mummy.

Until now, the death cause of the mummy was unknown, but recent tests showed that Ötzi was killed by an arrow and bled to death. You can read the full story here: http://www.physorg.com/news100342462.html

If you want to know more about Ötzi, you can find a lot of information on Wikipedia.
