About this time a man, later to be known as the Iceman or as Ötzi, is killed in the Tyrolean Alps and his body and belongings preserved in the ice of a glacier. See also 13,000 bce Materials; 3500 bce Materials. (See essay.)

The Egyptians begin to write using hieroglyphic signs on papyrus, although the earliest hieroglyphs known are from an object called King Narmer's Palette, also from around this time. See also 4000 bce Communication; 2900 bce Communication.
