In 1991, climbers found the remains of a naked man in the Alps, with a twisted face, eyes looking ahead, a copper axe in his hand, 14 arrows on his back, and obvious arrow wounds on his back, crawling forward and fleeing, as if someone was chasing him.

During a mountaineering season in 1991, a German couple, Helmut Simon, and his wife, Erica, went hiking in the beautiful Alps.
During this adventure, they make a shocking discovery, a completely preserved 5,300-year-old dried corpse, a mysterious man known as the "Iceman of Oz".
While resting on a slope in the Alps at an altitude of 3,210 meters, they stumbled upon a yellow substance reflecting sunlight and approached to find the body of a man lying on his back in the snow.
Although the corpse was badly decomposed, his skin still had clear pores, as if he had traveled back in time to modern times.
After a local police investigation and identification by archaeological experts, it was confirmed that this was a hominid living around 5300 BC.
Since he is fairly well preserved in the glacier, scientists have gained a lot of valuable information in the course of studying it in depth.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Ozbing was about 45 years old at the time of his death, with a muscular build (about 1.65 meters tall), weighing about 60 kilograms and possessing 61 tattoos, which was a very rare phenomenon at the time.
Through the study and analysis of the relics and the surrounding environment, scholars have speculated that Oz was most likely a hunter. During his lifetime, he used his bow and arrow to hunt animals to make a living and bring food to the tribe.
Despite thousands of years of historical changes and multifaceted research, the cause of the death of the Iceman of Oz remains mysterious.
The four fatal injuries found on his body may have been the result of a sudden battle, or the aggressive behavior of the prey—one of the obvious wounds was an arrow on the left shoulder that had pierced the bone and caused severe internal bleeding.
In addition, remnants of wild goats and red venison were found in the snow next to Oz Iceman, suggesting that he had eaten these animals in his last moments.
There are also some unsprouted mosses and unfermented wheat grains that are partially bread-shaped, suggesting that he may have struggled to find something to survive in his search for food.
The reason why the iceman was abandoned in the high-altitude Alps has caused debate in academic circles: one theory is that the enemy tribe tracked him down, cornered him, led to his death, and then abandoned him on the mountain.
Another view is that it was due to some religious or customary factor that led the tribe to place this important figure in this feng shui treasure as a sign of respect and protection.
It is worth mentioning that since the discovery of Oz Iceman, five people who had been in close contact with him have passed away in a very short period of time.
One of the most embarrassing things is that Reiner, the researcher who was responsible for putting the Oz Iceman in a bag, died untimely due to a car accident on the way to attend a special academic conference.
Simon, another who had been in close contact with Oz, accidentally fell into a cliff just 100 steps away from the discovery site while climbing the Alps.
Today, the remains of the Iceman of Oz are treasured in the Archaeological Museum of Bologna, Italy, for people to visit and study.
With the advancement of technology, more and more mysteries will be revealed one by one, and the mysteries of that distant era hidden behind the Iceman. It will also gradually surface.
