The iceman from 5300 years ago is important because he is the oldest known person with a tattoo. They discovered that his simple tattoos were in the same locations used to acupuncture today. So they believe that he was tattooed for medical reasons rather than personal, religious or fashionable reasons. They named him Otzi because he was found in a frozen glacier in the Otztaler Alps.

Not only was his simple tattoos important it was also that he was the oldest mummy found from 5,300 years ago.

he was believed to be from about 3300 B.C.

he was found by 2 German tourists named Helmut and Erica Simon
