Who killed Ötzi the iceman and why?

Post image
134 Upvotes

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.

The MK Ultra Connection to Alice in Wonderland

During the Cold War, the CIA launched MK Ultra, a real classified program designed to explore whether the human mind could be controlled through drugs, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, and psychological stress. Its existence was later confirmed in U.S. congressional investigations in the 1970s, cementing it as one of the most controversial psychological experiments in modern history.

Years later, some researchers and conspiracy theorists began noticing eerie symbolic parallels between MK Ultra concepts and a much older story: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Everyone knows the tale, a girl follows a white rabbit and tumbles into a world where nothing is what it seems. But some believe the journey mirrors themes of dissociation, identity fragmentation, and altered states of consciousness.

Explore the alleged connections between MK Ultra, Disney’s surreal 1951 film, psychedelic symbolism, and the recurring “follow the white rabbit” motif that later appeared in modern media like The Matrix. Is it coincidence, cultural borrowing, or something more deliberate?

Hi there :)

I’ll keep it short but I was wondering if anyone has thought of the idea. What if the manuscript was a personal journal? Someone who was not familiar with writing and wrote in a dialect called “Zibaldone.”

It was common in 14 century for market workers and travellers and shown in sketch’s, it shows a lot of loops and Softer words shown above with a example of the manuscript aswell was just curious if anyone thought of it before!

Hi everyone. I recently created a documentary exploring the historical, archaeological, and textual traces of Noah's Ark. I dive deep into the Urartian Kingdom, Sumerian records, and the true meaning of Mount Ararat. I also used some 3D software to visualize the historical concepts. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this ancient mystery!

Skeletal Remains of a Giant and a Naga Serpent Hidden in Thailand

I’ve always known about the skeletal remains of a giant killed by a Naga serpent, but I only recently discovered where in the world it was. It’s in Thailand, deep inside the Khao Khanab Nam Caves in Krabi.

According to local legend, the 6 meter tall Yaksha giant battled a 12 meter Naga serpent to the death. Neither survived, and their bodies became one with the limestone, turning the cave into a tomb that still sends chills down visitors’ spines.

Images of this cave and its remains have circulated online, but now you can uncover the full story behind the myth. In this episode, we explore Naga traditions across Southeast Asia, the role of Yaksha giants in Thai mythology, and a modern art installation inspired by this deadly battle, blurring the line between legend, history, and belief.

The Knights Templar were wiped out on Friday the 13th, this video looks at the history and mysteries surrounding their disappearance

The Knights Templar have been a subject for myth-makers and historians for some time. There are tales of them discovering ancient relics like the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, as well as suggestions that it was their collection of these relics that led to them being destroyed on Friday the 13th 1312.

Some believe the Templars continued into the modern era under the guise of the Freemasons. Regardless of the mysteries that surround them, they certainly were amongst the most revolutionary financiers of their time.

This documentary is our exploration of the Templars with historian Tony McMahon. We look into tales of lost treasure and hidden tunnels in Hertford and visit the site of an Templar preceptory.

Voynich Stars: Seen from Another Star System?

0 Upvotes

The Voynich Manuscript has a star drawing with seven stars in a tight circle. People say it shows the Pleiades. It looks a little strange compared to normal Earth sky maps. Most think it is just old medieval art for astrology.

What if the stars are drawn from another place in space, like a different solar system looking toward ours?

When you look from far away, nearby stars shift position because of parallax. That makes constellations look different or rearranged. The tight circle of seven stars matches how the Pleiades looks from Earth. But from somewhere else, maybe 20 to 100 light-years away in another direction, it could look exactly like the Voynich drawing.

The zodiac signs and small figures holding stars might show a real sky view from outside, not just symbols.

The book is from around 1400 to 1440. If it came from somewhere else, that would be very strange.

You can test it yourself. Download Celestia or Space Engine. Go to nearby stars like Alpha Centauri, Sirius or Vega. Look back at the Pleiades. Compare it to the Voynich page on the Yale website.

No perfect match has been found yet. But it could explain why the stars seem a bit off without saying the book is fake.

Just a theory though
