EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable artifact from the Copper Age - a birch-bark container discovered alongside the famous Oetzi Iceman. Preserved in pristine condition, this ancient cylinder provides us with invaluable insights into the life of a prehistoric mountaineer from the 4th millennium BC. Displayed at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy, this extraordinary find offers an intriguing glimpse into our ancestors' resourcefulness and ingenuity. The container contained an assortment of natural materials including maple leaves, spruce and juniper needles, as well as fragments of charcoal. These contents likely served various purposes for our Ice Age explorer. The Oetzi Iceman himself was found at an astonishing altitude of 3200 meters in the Tyrolean Alps, encased within an ice glacier that remarkably preserved his skeletal remains. It is believed that he met his untimely demise due to an arrowhead wound on his left shoulder. Photographed by Wolfgang Neeb, this image beautifully captures not only the intricate details of this ancient vessel but also evokes a sense of wonder about humanity's past. As we marvel at these artifacts and their significance in shaping our understanding of history, we are reminded once again how interconnected we are with those who came before us.
