Ötzi the Iceman, Similaun Man, and Man from Hauslabjoch are modern names of a well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived about 3300 years ago. He had an mri scan-this showed the arrow inside his body which killed him. He also had his mtdna extracted-he is type K, which is still fairly common in Europe today,often in Alpine regions.
