CSI - Otzi The Iceman
As students entered our classroom they discovered a crime scene!
They had been hand chosen to be on a team to investigate the death of the oldest, preserved human ever found!
This 5,300-year-old, perfectly preserved corpse was discovered in 1991 by two European hikers in the northern Alps near the Austrian and Italian borders. It is the oldest cold case known to man!
We continued our practice of "thinking like a historian" by analyzing the evidence from the scene and autopsy to determine which theory likely was the cause of death.
