    Dear Otzi,
    Hope you're having a good day, well as good as can be expected in your condition.
    After re-reading your last blog I am now leaning towards Professor Plum, in the conservatory with a pipe.

    Hi Otzi!

    Thanks 4 the comment! It was nice hearing from u!
    I have just returned from an historical tour 2 Greece and Italy, however unfortunately we did not visit the place of ur death - the italian alps was it? Anyway, it would have been very interesting to go there!

    I still haven't seen u, however perhaps i can convince my ancient history class to visit u on an excursion!

    Claire. :-)

About me:

.. .. .. ..In the 4th millennium BC, I climbed to the icy heights of the Ötzal Alps and died.

But how?

I’m Ötzi – the Iceman, the oldest known wet mummy in the world. My body was discovered in 1991 in the Schnalstal glacier and remains on display at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. My story was on exhibit at the Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney, until last February. To mark the occasion, I solved the mystery of my death, right here, with the world's first prehistoric blog WHO ICED ÖTZI?

Over 101 days I added a new chapter to the mystery. On the museum website, read the episodes and unlock the truth... or at least my theory...


Who I'd like to meet:

The countdown has ended.
The time to chase a killer has passed.
I am dead.

But don't take my death as reason to ignore me! I still want to hear from you all...

Were you there?
Did you see me die?
Or did we just meet sharing a roasted leg of antelope?

Relive the storytelling WHO ICED ÖTZI?

Five hundred years before Stonehenge, 600 years before the pyramids of Egypt, high in the Tyrolean Alps, a man lies dying.

Unarmed, alone, and fatally wounded, Ötzi waits for death as his lifeblood ebbs out onto the ice. As he slips in and out of consciousness, visions flash before his eyes. From amid this jumbled storm of memory, Ötzi must piece together his final days before it's too late. For up ahead, the crunch of footsteps echoes through the pass, and through the drifting snow, the silhouette of his killer takes shape.

Journey back to the late Neolithic Age and join Ötzi for a three-month prehistoric adventure.
