4. Tattoos, Clothes, Equipments:
Otzi was considered to have 57 carbon tattoos in his lower spine, behind
his knee and right ankle. All the tattoos were of simple dots and lines. The
tattoos were located near acupuncture points. Some scientists believe
that these are ancient type of acupuncture and were used to treat otzi for
some of the diseases he was suffering from. His clothes were highly
sophisticated. He was wearing
*A Poncho
*A bear fur cap tied with two leather straps
*Cloak made of woven grass
*Loincloth
*Pair of leggings
*Belt

5. Equipments found:
*Copper axe with yew handle
*Flint knife with ash handle

6. Cause of death:
At first it was believed that Otzi would have died
due to a heavy winter storm. But X-rays, CT scan
revealed that an arrowhead has wedged in one
of his shoulder when he died. It was alleged that
Otzi must have been a victim of a ritual sacrifice.
The theory was inspired by other discoveries
such as Tollund Man and Lindow Man. He
would have suffered unusual blood loss with no
treatment available. He also had several cuts in
hands, wrist and chest.

7. Otzi's Curse:
Influenced by the "Curse of Pharaohs" it was believed that
Otzi mummy was cursed. The claim is that the deaths of
some main people connected to the discovery and
examination of Otzi have died under mystifying conditions.
This includes the
Rainer Henn - was on the way to present new findings of the
remains. "Head collision car accident."
Kurt Fritz - guided Dr.Henn to the location of Oetzi, Died in a
avalanche shortly after that.
Rainer Hölz - created an hour long documentary of Otzi. Died
of a brain tumor few months later.
Helmut Simon - discoverer, went for a walk disappeared and
was found dead 8 days later.
Tom Loy - ground breaking DNA analysis on the corpse, died
of blood clot.

8. Recent Findings:
Dr. Loy found four DNA samples from Otzi's blood. The
theory talks a little prequel to his death, a sequence of
events that could have happened before Otzi's struggling
death. DNA samples done on Otzi man revealed blood
traces of four other people,
One from his knife
Two from the same arrowhead
And a fourth from his coat
The events are understood as Otzi was able to kill two of
his rivals with the same arrowhead pulling it successfully
out each time. The blood on his coat, should have been his
wounded pal whom he had been carrying in this fuss.
Latest studies reveal the cause of his death was not just by
blood loss due to the arrow head, but he had received a
hard blow from the back of his head. The blow could have
been due to a fall or someone hit him hard from behind.
