THE FROZEN MAN
On a September day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass, they found the
body of a man lying on the ice. At that height (3,200 meters), the ice is usually permanent. But 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain
ice had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton was in perfect condition, except for a large wound in the head. There was still skin on the bones and the
remains of some clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax, On the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots. Nearby
was a pair of gloves made of tree bark and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions. The mountain climbers who had found the
body said it seemed thousands of years old. But others thought that it might be from this century. Perhaps it was the body of a soldier who died in World
War I. In fact, several World War I soldiers had already been found in that area of the mountains. On the other hand, a Swiss woman believed it might
be her father. He had died in those mountains 20 years before and his body had never been found.
When Italian and Austrian scientists heard about the discovery they rushed to the mountaintop. The body couldn't possibly be the Swiss woman's
father, they said. The boots, the gloves, and the ax were clearly from further back in the past. For the same reason, they said it
couldn t be a World War I soldier. It had to be at least several centuries old, they said, maybe even five centuries. It could have been one of the soldiers
in the army of Frederick, Duke of Austria.
Before they could be sure about this guess, however, the scientists needed more data. They needed to bring the body down the mountain so they
could study it in their laboratories. The question was, whom did it belong to? It was lying almost exactly on thq border between Italy and Austria.
Naturally, both countries wanted the frozen man for their laboratories and their museums. For two days, the body lay there in the mountains white
diplomats argued. Finally, they decided that it lay on Austrian ground. By that time the body was partly unfrozen and somewhat damaged.
When the Austrian scientists examined the body more closely, they changed their minds. They did not know yet how he had died,'but they did know
when: in about 2,700 B.C. This was a very important discovery, they said. It would teach them a great deal about this very distant period of European
history. From the clothes and tools they could learn about how men lived in those times.
