I want to depict my expectations and dreams for the future with brushstrokes, and record the bits and pieces of my life with words, so that they can become a beautiful landscape in my life.
Oz the Iceman: A Historical Treasure in the Mummy Family In the glaciers of the Italian Alps, there is a well-preserved prehistoric human mummy called Oz the Iceman.
He is believed to be one of the oldest mummies in the world, dating back to the end of the Neolithic period about 5,300 years ago. Oz is unique in that he has a family that is still alive.
When the mummy was discovered, scientists confirmed that it revealed a lot of interesting information. There are many carved stone knife marks on his body, indicating that he most likely used stone tools for hunting, repairing buildings, and making various everyday utensils.
More interestingly, Oz still had some food scraps in his mouth and stomach, and it is speculated that the last time he ate at the time was beef, cereal, and other plant-based foods.
It is worth mentioning that Oz's discovery was not accidental. On September 19, 1991, a group of German hikers found a human mummy on the summit of Mount Upper Agamis.
At the time, they thought it was the body of a soldier or explorer killed during World War II. However, after examining the body, the local ** confirmed that the man in reed straw shoes and fur coat was an ancient mummy.
Over the past few decades, scientists have conducted intensive studies on Oz. His presence not only reveals the way of life and habits of the ancients, but also provides us with a unique opportunity to study the history of the Neolithic Age.
As the only known family of mummies, Oz is undoubtedly a historical gem within this family.
Oz's anatomical studies revealed that he was a middle-aged man of about 45 years old with a height of 160 meters, weight 50 kg. His head is wide and short, his jaw is prominent, the bridge of his nose is flattened, and his face is covered with deep wrinkles.
His back was scarred, and it is speculated that he may have been violently assaulted before his death. In addition, Oz's body also shows several other characteristics, for example, he has thick deposits on his teeth, and scientists speculate that he may have periodontal disease.
Moreover, some microorganisms exposed to snow and ice were found in his lungs, suggesting that the climate may have been humid at the time, or that he had contracted pneumonia during a long journey.
Oz, a figure considered one of the most important archaeological discoveries in human history, gives us countless clues. His DNA structure, heart and brain tissues and other details allow us to understand the lifestyle, lifestyle, eating habits, population distribution, disease flow and so on of that era.
Oz's discoveries not only shed light on human history, but also advanced our understanding of human evolution. His DNA structure reveals that he was the ancestor of Europeans and one of the earliest hunter-gatherers after the Agricultural Revolution.
His ancestors entered Europe about 10,000 years ago, and they were the first to domesticate and farm animals, a key change that drove the rapid development of global society at the time.
Oz is not the only mummy, he has 19 surviving relatives to this day. Scientists believe they may have similar DNA structures and biological characteristics to Oz, making them an important resource for studying Oz's DNA.
However, these relatives currently face a number of ethical and political issues, and they fear that the medical value that these studies may bring may go beyond the boundaries of policy and morality.
Therefore, scientists need to properly address these issues when communicating with them in order to fully exploit the value and potential of these studies.
Oz, the great historical figure, not only enriched our understanding of ancient European history and the process of human evolution, but also opened up new avenues for the study of human medicine, sociology and ethics.
Let's hope that more scientists will reveal the unknown frontier of human progress for us through in-depth research on Oz. (A documentary card has been added here, please go to the Toutiao client to view).
