In 1991, in the mountains, on the border of Austria and Italy, the German Helmut Simon discovered the corpse of a man who died 5,300 years ago.His body was frozen into the ice, and well kept.Near found a stone ax, a dagger and a quiver of arrows.Man named Oetzi, and then one after another began to die, researchers in contact with the mummy.
first victim
A series of strange deaths began in the same 1991 - almost immediately after the Oetzi was taken to the laboratory of the Austrian city of Innsbruck.They dissected the mummy Rainer Henn, the forensic expert.Soon, he was killed in a car crash.A few days later an avalanche fell asleep Kurt Fritz, who delivered the mummy by helicopter to Innsbruck.
seriously talking about mysticism in 2004.That summer he died Rainer Holtz, who was filming a movie about Oetzi and friends with Helmut Simon.He was seriously scared, and after the funeral of a friend to say: "The Spirit of Oetzi should choose me."
Simon died in October.I went to the glaciers in the hope of finding a fellow Oetzi.And he fell into the crevasse.Icy corpse found two weeks later.He was lying in the same position as that of a mummy.At the funeral he attended Simon Professor Konrad Spindler, who led the University of Innsbruck research Oetzi.
«I'm a man of science", - the scientist explained to journalists, while adhering to the question, whether he believes in the curse of the mummy.- "I ought not to give in to superstition.But inevitably begin to think, "Who is next?»
next he began.He died in April 2005.Victims include mummy and Dieter Wernicke, who died of a heart attack soon after the funeral of Simon.
In early November, he died under mysterious circumstances Dr. Tom Loy - famous archaeologist and a biologist at the University of Queensland (Australia), who investigated the things "ice man" and his DNA.
Oetzi died in battle
Tom Loy at the time the cause of death of the ancient hunter and even determine where he was born - in South Tyrol, on the border between Italy and Austria present.It is about 60 kilometers away from where the body was found.
study, researchers found that approximately 12 hours before the death of Oetzi a fire, roasted venison, have seized grain.Loy and found traces of blood on the clothes Oetzi on axes, daggers and arrows.They belonged to different people.Consequently, the "ice man" with someone fought, but he was killed by an arrow - someone hit him in the back.
Now the body is "ice man" exhibited in the Museum of Archaeology South Tyrol.And while none of the visitors did not die.It looks like a mummy "hunt" only for scientists.
Hypotheses
Mystics do not skimp on the idea.Some believe that Oetzi was a sorcerer.This, they say, suggest strange tattoos on his body.And if you believe the other, the things found in the "ice man", of a different time.Ostensibly arrows - 7000 years, the ax - 2000, and the skin, which was wrapped mummy stripped goats that live 5,000 years ago, only in China.Some have hinted that Oetzi had supernatural powers to travel through time.Thanks to a special spell that carries terrible punishment to those who disturb the peace of the body in the future.
Another suggestion: the spirit of revenge Oetzi direct descendants of his murderers, who by fate thousands of years later came into contact with his mummy.Indeed, studying the traces of blood on the body of the hunter and his things, the researchers figured: the attackers were 8 people.
And who's next?Now this is a key question, Walter Leiter, another professor from Innsbruck investigated organs and tissues "ice man".One "warning" scientists have already received.He led fellow Americans to show the place where they found Oetzi, frost-bitten, and miraculously survived.
True, skeptics argue that the death of scholars and accidents with them after all nothing more than a simple coincidence.For example, in good health abides Gareth Loy, brother and colleague Tom.He promises to continue the study of DNA Oetzi.And I would like to finish the book, Tom started.But until you can find her manuscript.She had disappeared ...
