Uncovering The Life And Times Of A Prehistoric Man Found In An Alpine Glacier.
Scientists in 1991 announced the unprecedented discovery of a well-preserved Stone Age man in an alpine glacier. A man who, incredibly, had been buried in ice for 5,000 years. This is the story of what happened when the most stunning archaeological find of the century dropped into the laps of a few Austrian scientists one September afternoon.
'Iceman' takes us inside scientific investigations by the anthropologists, botanists, and archaeologists who saw in this lonely frozen figure the clues to longstanding questions about the world of 3,000 BC. It also chronicles their debates and ego trips and the unexpected twists in their research, including the claim that the Iceman was a fraud and the mystery of his missing penis.
