Ötzi the Iceman

This is a little too real actually. . . 

Around 4,000-5,000 years ago, a man whose name we do not know, set off on a journey. Where he was going and what he was doing, we also do not know. What we know is he died. His body was buried in several feet of snow and ice. Left for thousands of years. His body never saw the light of sun; because he was completely buried, his body mummified and became preserved. Everyday belongings such as axe, knife, pouch and shoes were also found perfectly in-tact. Only for a short time, possibly a day or two, the snow melted enough to reveal the body, and it was found. . . !
