Up Close and Personal with Ötzi

Mar 07, 2009 14:54

Really high resolution zoomable pictures of Ötzi the iceman. They are lovely, amazing stuff; you can get so close in that you can almost feel the texture of his skin. And with photos of his tattoos under UV light to see them better.

Look for the entry wound in his left shoulder. And he hasn't been castrated either (as has been rumoured); just that there's nothing really in the male genitalia to retain structure after dessication and freezing.

history, medicine
