Iceman Otzi was a Fighter

Posted by michael on from the purple-heart dept.

Theatetus writes "Yahoo! News is running a story from USA Today that Otzi the iceman's murder is more complicated than we thought. It seems Otzi had blood on his clothes and knife from four different people in patterns that suggested he took out two with his bow and carried a wounded or dead person over his shoulder. I sense an action movie in the making..." If you don't remember Otzi, read the original story.

    It's interesting how people automatically assume he was some explorer, a hero of his time.
