Otsi

Otsi was an ancient man who was found high up in the mountains, and is sometimes called the first mountain climber. Blood of four other people were found on Otsi's being, and an arrowhead-shaped chunk in his shoulder, leading some to believe that he was a hunter who was killed in a skirmish with another band, and his brother removed the arrowhead from his shoulder. Other think that he may have been a chieftain and was ritually killed in order to guarantee fertiliity.
