Ep. 12: “Feeling Nutsy for Ötzi!” - This Is Only A Test |...

What this episode covers

“Ötzi the Iceman was a jolly happy soul…” Today, Mickey Urdea is discussing Ötzi the Iceman, the natural mummy discovered by accident in 1991 frozen atop the Ötztal Alps between Austria and Italy (which is, of course, how he got his nickname). Besides being the oldest natural mummy of the Copper Age, Ötzi’s story is a tale of international intrigue, unearthed ancient diseases and their possible contemporary therapeutics, and a murder investigation over 5000 years in the making. Buckle your snowshoes, and get ready to discover how we’ve come to know so much about our dear Ötzi, and how we can use that information to learn more about how modern humans got to where we are now.
