Great Riddles in Archaeology Lecture Series: Ötzi the Iceman

 

* Dr. Thomas Tartaron February 1, 2012 

In 1991, two German tourists discovered a frozen body emerging from the melting ice of a glacier in the Alps along the Italian-Austrian border. Although it was initially believed to be a modern corpse, it quickly became apparent that the body was quite ancient, mummified naturally in the frozen environment. The discovery set off a frenzy of examinations and testing, as well as a series of disputes about the discovery and ownership of the mummy, Great and even claims of a "mummy's curse." Nicknamed "Ötzi" after the Ötz Valley in which he was found, the male mummy has been dated to approximately 5,300 years ago. 

Dr. Thomas Tartaron, Assistant Professor of Classical Studies, University of Pennsylvania, recounts the story of Ötzi's discovery and subsequent investigation, separating fact from fiction.

Yes there was a Previous Worldwide Civilization created by people without Neanderthal genes. All of them relayed through their 'astral alignments', and Sacred Writings, that the Primordial Organizing Principle was relayed to them by Advanced Beings (not gods) from the "Sah" (aka Constellation of Heru, Orion's Belt). Many looked similar to the Australian Aborigines but they are not the archetype. Off the top of my head some earlier Homo Sapiens include, Jebel Irhoud Man 315,000 BCE, Grimaldi Man 47,000 BCE and many others in between those dates. Many of my Boards on Pinterest @ Asar Kush are dedicated to them, and their descendants who "rebuilt" after the planetwide cataclysms resulting from the Magnetic North Pole Shift (Great Flood), 10,520 BCE subsided. They include Punt/Saaba, Kush, Kemit, Ka-Anu (Canaan), Min-Anu (Minoan), Sumer, Indus Kush, Khmer, Champa, Silla, Hongshan, Shang, Xi (Olmec), Quinbaya, Maya, Moche, Mound Builders, Anu-Sazi (Anasazi), and many others...
