The mummy gave us a glimpse into the Copper Age. His body was so intact because he was covered in ice for about 5,300 years. The naturalistic reconstruction of Otzi the Iceman would be impossible if he was not this well-preserved. It is amazing how much archaeologists and scientists could let us know!
