In 1991, Alpine hikers found a body melting from a glacier and called police. 5,300 years later, it proved to be Ötzi the Iceman. The discovery revealed a Copper Age man preserved in ice, with tattoos, weapons, injuries and food in his stomach. Scientists later found evidence that he was shot with an arrow, turning the discovery into an unsolved murder case.
