What culture was Otzi?
Based on scant Copper Age finds discovered in what is today South Tyrol, everything indicates that Ötzi was a member of the first independent Alpine cultural group, Tamins-Carasso-Isera 5.
What race was Otzi the Iceman?
In 2012, revealed Ötzi’s paternal genetic line is still present in modern-day populations after analysing his Y chromosome, which is transmitted from fathers to sons. Those findings also revealed he was a native of Central Europe – not a first generation immigrant from Sardinia, as had been previously thought.
Was Otzi Indo European?
SAN FRANCISCO — Ötzi the Iceman, an astonishingly well-preserved Neolithic mummy found in the Italian Alps in 1991, was a native of Central Europe, not a first-generation émigré from Sardinia, new research shows. And genetically, he looked a lot like other Stone Age farmers throughout Europe.

Who killed Otzi?
the Iceman
When the Iceman (nicknamed Ötzi after the Ötzal Alps where he was found) was discovered by two hikers in South Tyrol, Italy, in 1991, he was lying face down in a frozen gully. He had been killed over 5,000 years prior – shot through the back with an arrow – but the glacier’s ice preserved his corpse.
What was Otzi’s eye color?
brown eyes
Although he looks tired, Otzi has vivid brown eyes. Indeed, recent research on the 5,300-year-old mummy has shown that the Stone Age man did not have blue eyes as previously thought. Believed to have died around the age of 45, Otzi was about 5-foot, 3-inches tall and weighed 110 pounds.
What language is spoken in Iceman?

Raetic language
Iceman/Languages
Played by the German actor Jürgen Vogel, Ötzi – or Kelab, as he is known in the film – speaks an early version of the Rhaetic tongue, a language of the pre-Roman and Roman era in the eastern Alps, for which no translation is given in the film.
Why does Otzi’s DNA link to people in Sardinia?
Specifically, among modern Europeans, Ötzi’s DNA is most similar to modern-day Sardinians. The new study supports the theory that this similarity remains because Sardinia had less turnover of genetic ancestry over time than mainland Europe, which experienced large-scale migrations in the Bronze Age.
What was Ötzi the Iceman religion?
Because Otzi lived more than 5,000 years ago, we have no indication whatsoever of his religion. His life certainly predates any known European…
