I clicked to see a mummy and had 0 intent of watching an hour presentation, but the tour guide did such a good job i was hooked and reeled in. Fascinating stuff really.
Excellent video! One fact she overlooks is that when Otzi's body was discovered Austria and Italy both thought it might be a homicide scene. They both said "It's on your side!!" Once they learned it was an ancient body they both fought over possession of Otzi!!
@@captainpeen9880 probably, but like I said, that translates more to bragging rights and not a significant amount of income for the government that the museum resides in, and certainly not "jillions"
can we for a moment appreciate Amada's skill as a guide, the way she asks questions and waits even tho she is talking to a camera. Great job! Loved hearing all about ötzi.
Same here, randomly stumbled upon this video after watching a card house building video, but it was so interesting and fascinating I stuck around till the end!
Kudos to the lady narrating the story of the Iceman! She is a fine teacher and explains things in great learning fashion. She implores us to think. Thank you!
They would say .... definitely a donkey human hybrid. Amazing 😆 seriously it would be great that's the closest to eternal life we will get. My guess is he either knew his killer as a fellow member of the tribe since his arrow shaft was removed which would be hard to do in that position of his back by himself or he was part of a hunting party and was wiped out by a bigger tribe but I would say he knew his killer as it's very strange his weapons, clothes and valuables were not taken suggesting he killed the other person in the fight as he had injuries to his hands or he knew them and they didn't want any evidence from the encounter. Probably a tribe take over from a younger member looking to move into his position of leader.
A textbook full of information presented in an easy to understand, cheerful manner. All that education and no 'History Channel' explosions, hyperbole and shouting required. Love it.
this woman is born to do this job such a delight to listen. she reminds me of my old elementary school history teacher who would light up when she started to talk about history i liked history because of it so much that i never needed to study history. i always remembered everything from the lessons itself because of how that woman loved history too bad i cannot remember her name, im very bad at names

Yeah except the fact that, as usual, Americans have very little geographical knowledge, and she said that South-Eastern Europe is called the Middle East..

This is one of the best scientific presentations I have seen . The presenter is so involved in the subject, very informative, and easy to listen to. I am grateful to be able to watch this on RUclips. Otzi gives us a remarkable glimpse into the life of one person who lived in such a different world than our own.
Some additional details about Ötzi: he had 28 teeth, two cavities (only) and no wisdom teeth at all, not even impacted. Amanda correctly pointed out the flat surface of his teeth due to abrasive food. The number of dental cavities is in line with the incidence of dental decay prior to the introduction of sticky, soft and sugar-rich diet that is prevalent today.
This is from his Wiki: “Ötzi's teeth showed considerable internal deterioration from cavities. These oral pathologies may have been brought about by his grain-heavy, high carbohydrate diet.”
The pitch of this talk is aimed at kids which is brilliant so that families can sit down and learn together instead of adults having to answer questions all the way through! Very well presented.

EXTREMELY PLEASANT PRESENTATION. I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE 42 MINUTES HAVE PASSED BY. SOMEONE MENTIONED THIS PRESENTATION WAS ‘TAILORED’ FOR CHILDREN-WHICH EXPLAINED WHY SHE WAS ANIMATED AND FULL OF LIFE-BUT AS A NON-NATIVE SPEAKER, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK HER AS WELL FOR THIS VIRTUAL TOUR BECAUSE IT’S EASY TO UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, AND HELLO FROM KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - 29 AUGUST 2021
I dont think it's because it was made for kids, it is just HOW museums teach them to talk about the subject and WHAT they are meant to say about the display for when they do their guided tours of the museum. It slows things down a bit for ppl who don't speak English as their native language aswell as for when kids DO visit the museum. It's not just for 1 reason or another, it's all of them.... but, yeah, she did a great job!
1. Recent wounds. 2. Meal hour before death 3. Shot from behind Man was in a fight. Pissed off someone. That someone was tracking him. He had a meal thinking that he had few days distance behind him and the problem. Settled down and had a meal. That very persistent tracker caught up with him as he was resting after meal (and propably maintaining his gear) and gave chase. Dude ran possibly because there were more than one assaulter and got shot in the back.
If his body had been found just 150 years ago or even 50 years ago, we would not have all the information and preservation we have today. It is really amazing that this man's body laid on that mountain for more than 5000 years without being found. We did not have 3D printing tech ten years ago. Just an amazing find and knowledge gained.
@@lilwerner1518 I am betting the majority of those thousands of years, that body was covered up entirely by ice. I think he died just before a climate change that covered the entire area in ice and snow for thousands of years. That's the only way the body was still so well-preserved.
I love how this presenter is speaking to a young audience, and effortlessly imparts an astonishing amount of information in an enjoyable storytelling way. This video would benefit anyone, and I highly recommend sharing it with school age children too.
I hope Otzi knows. I hope he watches this from somewhere, and sees how much he contributed to our historical knowledge. Of course, that's a matter of faith. And i'm not particularly religious, but I still hope that he knows. Because a part of me kind of feels like he deserves it :)
People had to be pretty adaptable back then man. He had a bunch of skills that we have managed to piece together, but he wasn't a professional in any of those.
@@terminator572 So basically Jack of All trades,master of none kinda guy. The fact he live to age 46 in that time period is such an achievement and a testament to his skills.
I wish every single teacher was like Amanda McBrien, the presenter of this video. She was so engaging and her enthusiasm for what she was talking about was contagious! I know I would have done much better in school if I had someone like her teaching all the subjects. Fantastic presentation from a fantastic presenter!
My dad had one of those DNA tests done, and we're related to Otzi! So this video is super awesome! Also want to note that we're all Italian and O Neg 😂
The artist certainly deserved to be honored with one of his eyelashes placed on the resin Ötsi. This woman's presentation brought Ötsi to life in a way my reading never did. My eyes certainly popped at learning they sequenced his entire DNA. I'm certainly impressed with the children's suppositions regarding his death; crossed another's boundary or mistaken for a bear. Bravo children!
When I clicked on the video I just wanted to watch 5 or so minutes and I saw all the comments saying the same and that they had stayed for the whole thing. I thought, nah I won’t do that. Next thing I know I’m finished. You have a great way of engaging people. I have ADD and you had my attention the whole time!!
It’s like he’s frozen in time. Gone but not forgotten. Went for cigarettes and never came home. It’s in the cold case files. His killer may never be found.
This just auto played after a totally unrelated video and I ended up watching the entire thing. Science is fascinating. This was very informative and the presenter was very passionate about the topic which made it even more interesting to watch.
This is beyond interesting and fascinating. Otzi had no way of knowing at the time the impact he would have on our world. I hope somehow his spirit and soul are aware.
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking..........that I hope his spirit or soul knows what information he shared 5,300 years in the future! Thanks Otzi!!!! (Wherever you are!) We find you FASCINATING!
I think Otzi would be repelled that his body even a replica would be displayed in such a fashion. I'm glad I don't think I'll die in mountain ice to be later on display replica or not.
You can tell this lady loves her job 😊 She's very great in telling the story of a man's history and everything about him! This is truly amazing so much information.
Over 5,300 yrs ago a 46 yr old hunter adventurer, carrying 60 pounds of gear, met his fate at 10,000 feet up into the mountains. His last large meal likely necessary to fuel the great amount of caloric expenditure he was experiencing. We will never know actual cause of the accident/ case of his death, but fascinating manufacture of articles he carried/wore. Brilliant!!!!
Amazing. Even 5000 years ago, we were so civilized. The different uses for different materials are incredible. Fire starters, substances with Antibiotic properties, anti-nasea, those amazing shoes?! Birch containers. And all in the hands of one man. I am awe struck.
Agreed. I know people who worked on the project, and there was a great deal of respect for this person. I just feel uncomfortable putting him on public display.
I just want to say how amazing you are! Wow, what a great presentation, so engaging, so informative, absolutely facinating! You're brilliant, worth a million, so glad they (you) got this on tape! Many thanks for sharing, I feel inspired!!!!!
Funny how when humans find a more modern body we get creeped out but when we realize it’s an ancient human, we display it for everyone and find it fascinating to see their body lol
I easily related with modern humans, with these ancient mummies not so much. Yes, they're people, who lived, loved, and died like any other people but I find their life so ancient and strange I can't relate to like I do with modern humans. Idk that's how I feel.
Lady! Thank you so much. English isn’t my first language and I was able to understand everything you said! Thanks for all the information 🥰🥰🥰 GREAT VIDEO!
I have a hard time learning just by listening, so these visual aids and the pace you spoke at were absolutely perfect. I feel like I learned a lot, and honestly it’s quite an achievement for me to be fully hooked on a video for 42 minutes.
I always thought it was strange that he had such well made gear, clothing and tools. If he was murdered and died within 5 minutes of the arrow hitting him or so, being chased. His gear alone would have been so incredibly valuable for his time, the fact that it wasn't stolen or taken from his body always made me wonder. Not taking such valuable items during this time period is very telling to me. Maybe he managed to get far enough away from his attacker, so that they stopped giving chase or lost track of him. Or that maybe he knew his killer, and they couldn't take his stuff because maybe they would be recognized by other people they both knew or lived with and the crime would have been uncovered.
I think whoever shot him was probably at a far distance, and was more concerned with him trespassing than the value of his items. They might have also decided that the risk of traveling to his body wasn't worth it.
Everyone could make their own gear in those days. None of it was necessarily valuable. Even the copper axe head was smelted by Otzi himself. Plus there are some cultures where the possesions and the bodies of thedead a taboo to touch, or even returning to to the area where a death happened. We really dont know.
Excellent! My brother's DNA came back directly related to Otzi on the paternal line!! Both of our parents have roots in those mountains [Austria]. This is the best doc on Otzi so far. Well done !
Best presentation of Iceman I have ever heard! And I have been reading and listening to oral accounts since Iceman was discovered. Amanda wins the prize! There were others involved, the camera person, maybe writers and a producer. But they had a vision of how this was to be presented, and Amanda pulled it off, 100%
You really should have been my teacher at School!! I could listen to you forever. You have the knack. My Sons into genetics and epigenetic’s. He loved this so a big THANK YOU xxxxx.
:0 how was I not subscribed- my class/classmates are learning about him for our history lol yesterday we watched this video so this is my 2nd time watching this-
This is mind blowing. The host was incredibly engaging and her detailed explanations had me glued to the screen the whole time. Now I want to know about the pollen and Otzi's journey up to his fatal death up on the mountain. Juicy stuff...all this info gathered by the many experts in various fields that made it happen. Just wow!
i've been an otsi fan ever since he was discovered. i was delighted to find information here on him and want to learn all that i can. please keep us all informed of anything new that is found! thank you for this presentation.
Outstanding! I played it for background interest, and found myself fascinated by the very objective and straightforward method of presentation. Thank you for adding a few things about Otzi that I hadn't been aware of before.
The small round Dolomite stone on the small loop with hide cordage, for carrying small game. Have you determined what it was for ? Dolomite stone can be used for smelting/manganese ? I had a squirrel whistle, nearly the same size. Perhaps a game call or doubling as a button or catch to retain the loop on his belt ? LMK what you think ? Excellent presentation, Amanda is awesome 👍
Over the years since the discovery of the frozen body I read everything that appeared in the newspapers and dedicated magazines. As an archaeology aficionado I was interested to keep up acquiring knowledge of this fascinating story that takes one back to thousands of years
Of course. But only if any of his ancestors survived until today and if he didn't have a lot of children it might be harder to actually find someone.... You can do the DNA test from 23andme and they tell you if you have a common ancestor with Ötzi :P They obviously only test if you and Ötzi have the same X-times great-grandfather....
It actually says on the board about Ötzi's DNA that there are 19 people sharing similar DNA alive right now, meaning they have the same strands, substrands, all that jazz from what I understood. I think it's quite interesting that some of them live in the Alps... like (some of) Ötzi's family or tribe continued to live in the mountains for centuries, perhaps several thousand years... it's stunning, really. Things like these is what I love about archeological research
Yes, I know I share the same DNA as cheddar man according to 23andme, I am from the same halogroup, my anscesotors are from the British Isles, English and Scottish
@@claraw7911 imagine getting THAT phone call. I am related to WHO?!😳 I would want to see his remains and say hi............. Let his ghost know his kids survived and his blood line lives on.
I still remember first learning about Otzi in a 6th-grade history textbook! There was just a small blurb about him and a photo of the hikers next to his body on the mountain. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and although my teacher barely touched on him, I went home and researched him myself! 12 year old me would have loved this video, and I'm so glad this is on youtube for other curious people to learn about his story!
"Ötzi's last meals were pretty healthy." Hmm, no Slim Jims, Twinkies, Fritos, Diet Coke . . . how did he ever get along? Guy walked into the wrong Alpen hood with red shoelaces on his moccasins, caught an arrow drive-by.

It is really amazing that this man's body laid on that mountain for more than 5000 years without being found. We did not have 3D printing tech ten years ago. Just an amazing find and knowledge gained.
@@lilwerner1518 I am betting the majority of those thousands of years, that body was covered up entirely by ice. I think he died just before a climate change that covered the entire area in ice and snow for thousands of years. That's the only way the body was still so well-preserved.
I love how this presenter is speaking to a young audience, and effortlessly imparts an astonishing amount of information in an enjoyable storytelling way. This video would benefit anyone, and I highly recommend sharing it with school age children too.
Appreciate it ☺️
Although it is geared towards children, I find it about my level as an adult too:) I just love it
very well put together - you did great job explaining the story
I hope Otzi knows. I hope he watches this from somewhere, and sees how much he contributed to our historical knowledge.
Of course, that's a matter of faith. And i'm not particularly religious, but I still hope that he knows. Because a part of me kind of feels like he deserves it :)
He’s probably pissed that they lost half his ass
i hope so!
but imagine he was like 'wtf is otzi, my name's brandon'
What if he was just high or drunk and fell off a cliff and he’s just laughing at all of us 😂
Then he's asleep. 😴 Not watching anything!
He is us, we are him.
Otzi becomes alive by the way the Lady presented him. Great talk.
Just found this. Excellent presentation. Thank you.
with all the skills this guy had he's starting to look like a elderscrolls protagonist
People had to be pretty adaptable back then man. He had a bunch of skills that we have managed to piece together, but he wasn't a professional in any of those.
@@terminator572 So basically Jack of All trades,master of none kinda guy. The fact he live to age 46 in that time period is such an achievement and a testament to his skills.
@@miwuwsk8462 yeah pretty much. The fact that he managed to even make it to that age and was where he was is an actual achievement.
It's the Dovahkinn on his way to the Throat of the world to see his friend Paarthunax
You had to be skilled in an age where 20 was considered middle age.
I wish every single teacher was like Amanda McBrien, the presenter of this video. She was so engaging and her enthusiasm for what she was talking about was contagious! I know I would have done much better in school if I had someone like her teaching all the subjects. Fantastic presentation from a fantastic presenter!
off topic but your sleep pfp is sick
Thank you
My guy Ötzi looks pretty good for someone who’s over 5000 years old
Me: *trying to go sleep*
RUclips algorithm: -"May i interest you in a random video about a frozen mummy ?"
I actually searched this
😄 😆
I've been wishing to know more about Otzi. Fascinating!!
@@amber40494 the first known frozen sperm bank.
.....yes
The Iceman died and last thing he did was the "Crank that soulja boy"
Got killed cranking that Soulja Boy

@@olivius8891 lmao 😂 dawg the heck funny ASF
Bruhhh 😂
Move, move 💀
My dad had one of those DNA tests done, and we're related to Otzi! So this video is super awesome!
Also want to note that we're all Italian and O Neg 😂
The artist certainly deserved to be honored with one of his eyelashes placed on the resin Ötsi.
This woman's presentation brought Ötsi to life in a way my reading never did.
My eyes certainly popped at learning they sequenced his entire DNA.
I'm certainly impressed with the children's suppositions regarding his death; crossed another's boundary or mistaken for a bear. Bravo children!
I'm mesmerized by this lady's voice and enthusiasm.
This lecture/display is so immersive I sometimes forget I saw it on youtube and not a guided tour.
When I clicked on the video I just wanted to watch 5 or so minutes and I saw all the comments saying the same and that they had stayed for the whole thing. I thought, nah I won’t do that. Next thing I know I’m finished. You have a great way of engaging people. I have ADD and you had my attention the whole time!!
It’s like he’s frozen in time. Gone but not forgotten.
Went for cigarettes and never came home.
It’s in the cold case files. His killer may never be found.
he slipt on a prehistoric banana and went in the river, froze in time and now in a museum, BOY what a story !
@@sorin990 he got hit in the shin by a prehistoric razor scooter and died
@@boredbird3725 lol

*cold* case files
THIS WAS THE BEST LECTURE AND THANK YOU FOR GOING OVER EVERTHING JUST THE BEST
This just auto played after a totally unrelated video and I ended up watching the entire thing. Science is fascinating. This was very informative and the presenter was very passionate about the topic which made it even more interesting to watch.
It’s crazy how far we’ve come with forensics. It’s like he’s living here right now. Kudos to everyone involved in this amazing venture!
Thanks Amanda! Just wanted to let you know you did a great job explaining this amazing find.
So amazing that this is really a display of two opposite ends of human technology. From stone tools to a 3d printed mummy.
You know I didn't even consider that, but you are completely correct. Good call out!
And apparently its also a crime science investigation. To be more specific - a COLD case ironically enough.
This is beyond interesting and fascinating. Otzi had no way of knowing at the time the impact he would have on our world. I hope somehow his spirit and soul are aware.
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking..........that I hope his spirit or soul knows what information he shared 5,300 years in the future! Thanks Otzi!!!! (Wherever you are!) We find you FASCINATING!
I think Otzi would be repelled that his body even a replica would be displayed in such a fashion. I'm glad I don't think I'll die in mountain ice to be later on display replica or not.
What a wonderful, engaging presentation and presenter! She’s very, very good and, obviously, loves her job! 🇨🇦
You can tell this lady loves her job 😊 She's very great in telling the story of a man's history and everything about him! This is truly amazing so much information.
Its really cool how his organs were still there
Army👋
@@godgunsandglory but, but but they wouldn't make up stories about the food in his tummy, would they?
@UCUYW35B1_QFclRZZZ5t3S2A your take is interesting. But there was a report recently, of a puppy (Intact) found frozen .
Over 5,300 yrs ago a 46 yr old hunter adventurer, carrying 60 pounds of gear, met his fate at 10,000 feet up into the mountains. His last large meal likely necessary to fuel the great amount of caloric expenditure he was experiencing. We will never know actual cause of the accident/ case of his death, but fascinating manufacture of articles he carried/wore. Brilliant!!!!
She actually tells his story so well it had me fascinated!
Amazing. Even 5000 years ago, we were so civilized. The different uses for different materials are incredible. Fire starters, substances with Antibiotic properties, anti-nasea, those amazing shoes?! Birch containers. And all in the hands of one man. I am awe struck.
His arrows were in disrepair from combat. The pitch they used to attach heads did not hold well. The shafts were valuable to rebuild. ☠️
Lovely. Better than the NOVA presentation. You did a great job of humanizing the person inside the archeological specimen. Thank you.
Agreed. I know people who worked on the project, and there was a great deal of respect for this person. I just feel uncomfortable putting him on public display.
I just loved the presentation of the iceman. She kept my interest and the time went by so quickly. It was fascinating!
I just want to say how amazing you are! Wow, what a great presentation, so engaging, so informative, absolutely facinating! You're brilliant, worth a million, so glad they (you) got this on tape! Many thanks for sharing, I feel inspired!!!!!
Funny how when humans find a more modern body we get creeped out but when we realize it’s an ancient human, we display it for everyone and find it fascinating to see their body lol
Fortunately this is a replica
I easily related with modern humans, with these ancient mummies not so much.
Yes, they're people, who lived, loved, and died like any other people but I find their life so ancient and strange I can't relate to like I do with modern humans.
Idk that's how I feel.
I mean it is over 5000 years old and not only that there's barely recorded evidence of this time period
Lady! Thank you so much. English isn’t my first language and I was able to understand everything you said! Thanks for all the information 🥰🥰🥰 GREAT VIDEO!
This is the coolest thing I've seen in so long. Science is so cool. Thanks DNA!
No need to spice anything up, just a truly interesting topic with a great presenter!
She is a phenomenal interpreter! I'm so glad I watched this. Thanks for posting it.
Amanda, that was one of the finest presentations on any subject I have ever experienced. Take a bow. Happy New Year 2022! phil
This video makes me want to go to museums again like in school. This was entertaining and very informative.
Museums are usually great. I travel extensively, ...scores of countries, ...and I often go to museums. Never disappointed.
You went to museums in school? Damn
I have a hard time learning just by listening, so these visual aids and the pace you spoke at were absolutely perfect. I feel like I learned a lot, and honestly it’s quite an achievement for me to be fully hooked on a video for 42 minutes.
I really enjoyed waching this, good job
I always thought it was strange that he had such well made gear, clothing and tools. If he was murdered and died within 5 minutes of the arrow hitting him or so, being chased. His gear alone would have been so incredibly valuable for his time, the fact that it wasn't stolen or taken from his body always made me wonder. Not taking such valuable items during this time period is very telling to me.
Maybe he managed to get far enough away from his attacker, so that they stopped giving chase or lost track of him.
Or that maybe he knew his killer, and they couldn't take his stuff because maybe they would be recognized by other people they both knew or lived with and the crime would have been uncovered.
All they took was the food he must have been carrying that wasn't found with his body.
I think whoever shot him was probably at a far distance, and was more concerned with him trespassing than the value of his items. They might have also decided that the risk of traveling to his body wasn't worth it.
Everyone could make their own gear in those days. None of it was necessarily valuable. Even the copper axe head was smelted by Otzi himself. Plus there are some cultures where the possesions and the bodies of thedead a taboo to touch, or even returning to to the area where a death happened. We really dont know.
She makes this so easy to understanding and interesting.
Yo
Totally agree superb presentation,would watch other documentaries she presents.
Me and my 7 year old son really enjoyed this. We never knew all of this and we think it is amazing. Thank you very much!
*my seven year old son and I
Excellent! My brother's DNA came back directly related to Otzi on the paternal line!! Both of our parents have roots in those mountains [Austria]. This is the best doc on Otzi so far. Well done !
@@melissamcgreish9296 COUSIN!!! 😁
@@BigfootForestVancouverIsland STEP BRO!!! 😁
Fascinating. Thank you. I’ve been an Otzi fan since his finding and him appearing in I think National Geographic
Best presentation of Iceman I have ever heard! And I have been reading and listening to oral accounts since Iceman was discovered. Amanda wins the prize! There were others involved, the camera person, maybe writers and a producer. But they had a vision of how this was to be presented, and Amanda pulled it off, 100%
What a fantastic tour! The presenter was able to convey complicated information in a digestible and engaging way. SO good!
You really should have been my teacher at School!! I could listen to you forever. You have the knack. My Sons into genetics and epigenetic’s. He loved this so a big THANK YOU xxxxx.
thank you so much for this information! this really helps with my history assignment :)
:0 how was I not subscribed- my class/classmates are learning about him for our history lol yesterday we watched this video so this is my 2nd time watching this-
You better put a citation for this man
I've followed his story for years. Thank you Otzi for all your learning, you have taught millions
This is mind blowing. The host was incredibly engaging and her detailed explanations had me glued to the screen the whole time. Now I want to know about the pollen and Otzi's journey up to his fatal death up on the mountain. Juicy stuff...all this info gathered by the many experts in various fields that made it happen. Just wow!
i've been an otsi fan ever since he was discovered. i was delighted to find information here on him and want to learn all that i can. please keep us all informed of anything new that is found! thank you for this presentation.
Fun fact : In "Futurama", Fry gets frozen with his arm across his chest in the same position as Otzi.
that is not true at all... he's holding a Beer, unless you're talking on an specific episode.
I remember going here for a school field trip, it was actually pretty cool
Outstanding! I played it for background interest, and found myself fascinated by the very objective and straightforward method of presentation. Thank you for adding a few things about Otzi that I hadn't been aware of before.
I love this woman's genuine enthusiasm and curiosity.
The small round Dolomite stone on the small loop with hide cordage, for carrying small game. Have you determined what it was for ?
Dolomite stone can be used for smelting/manganese ?
I had a squirrel whistle, nearly the same size. Perhaps a game call or doubling as a button or catch to retain the loop on his belt ? LMK what you think ? Excellent presentation, Amanda is awesome 👍
Over the years since the discovery of the frozen body I read everything that appeared in the newspapers and dedicated magazines. As an archaeology aficionado I was interested to keep up acquiring knowledge of this fascinating story that takes one back to thousands of years
If scientists have his DNA, are they able to find any living ancestors?
Of course. But only if any of his ancestors survived until today and if he didn't have a lot of children it might be harder to actually find someone....
You can do the DNA test from 23andme and they tell you if you have a common ancestor with Ötzi :P
They obviously only test if you and Ötzi have the same X-times great-grandfather....
It actually says on the board about Ötzi's DNA that there are 19 people sharing similar DNA alive right now, meaning they have the same strands, substrands, all that jazz from what I understood. I think it's quite interesting that some of them live in the Alps... like (some of) Ötzi's family or tribe continued to live in the mountains for centuries, perhaps several thousand years... it's stunning, really. Things like these is what I love about archeological research
Do you mean descendants?
Yes, I know I share the same DNA as cheddar man according to 23andme, I am from the same halogroup, my anscesotors are from the British Isles, English and Scottish
@@claraw7911 imagine getting THAT phone call.
I am related to WHO?!😳
I would want to see his remains and say hi.............
Let his ghost know his kids survived and his blood line lives on.
wow seriously i have watched lot of full documentary on this subject and yet this is the best guide talk i have ever experienced.
I still remember first learning about Otzi in a 6th-grade history textbook! There was just a small blurb about him and a photo of the hikers next to his body on the mountain. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and although my teacher barely touched on him, I went home and researched him myself! 12 year old me would have loved this video, and I'm so glad this is on youtube for other curious people to learn about his story!
Me too!
"Ötzi's last meals were pretty healthy." Hmm, no Slim Jims, Twinkies, Fritos, Diet Coke . . . how did he ever get along?
Guy walked into the wrong Alpen hood with red shoelaces on his moccasins, caught an arrow drive-by.
I’m DEAD lmfao
Homie had the his Arrows facing the wrong way and they knew he was false flagging
This is the best presentation about the topic I've found.
