Synopsis

Unit 1 - THE ICEMAN

In 1991 a frozen body  was found in the Alps. It belonged to a man, Ötzi, who lived about 5,300 years ago.  His leather boots, sharp weapons and warm clothes show that the Stone Age people were very sophisticated. They were farmers who grew corn, kept sheep and goats and  used copper to make tools. When scientists  x-rayed the body, they found out that Ötzi was shot/ attacked while he was taking his animals to the mountains. He was hurt, so he ran up the mountain where he froze to death.
