I have recently been investigating Ötzi and I have realised something even though we have found blood on his weapons scientist for some reason have not checked the DNA to see who killed one of the most famous mummies around and often called the world’s oldest murder mystery and yet we still don’t know who done it? 

Now I’ve been racking my brain for a while and I just can’t seem to figure it out. I have a few theories but they all have holes so I have turned to Reddit to help me. If anyone doesn’t know who he is he was a man who lived around 5300 years ago in the copper age, he was probably a Hunter or a Sheppard although he was found with a significant amount of copper in his hair so he probably was involved with copper smelting he was born and lived in a place we know today as South Tyrol although he died in the Ötzal Alps, which is how he got his name 

Now we know exactly how he died he was shot in the back in a major artery near the lungs which definitely would’ve killed him, but his killing blow was some sort of bludgeoning attack to the head which killed him but he did not go down like a wimp he died fighting and he really locked in he had the blood of one person on his dog bone knife, which was basically a kitchen knife he killed two people with the same arrow which means he shot one person retrieved it and then shot another person and he had some blood on his copper axe and he had the blood of one person on his Clogh scientist think this was him pulling away a comrade who was wounded although I’m not so sure then he died 

A few other things that really throw me off is that he was actually in a fight before he died he received a knife wound defensively which means he blocked a knife with his hand And after he died his extremely valuable copper axe was not taken which is weird so what do you think happened? And who killed him? I have a few theories myself but I’d like to hear yours before I speak.

Who killed Ötzi the iceman and why?
