Did you know that there is a congress just to present new scientific discoveries made with mummies around the world? The last congress on mummies was in Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, which belongs to Spain. On that island were found many mummies of a people called Guanche and there were experts from all over the world.
It was at a conference of mummies that I was introduced to Otzi, the icy mummy from the Alps, found in northern Italy, almost in Austria. Otzi was a man who lived in the Neolithic – period of prehistory between 12,000 and 4,000 years before Christ – in the mountains, and one day he died while trying to cross the glaciers. All of his instruments, the injuries that could have caused his death, the food he _______ before he died, and everything else that was found by the climbers who discovered it helped scientists a lot to understand how those peoples lived thousands of years old.
