[.ca] Ice Mummy: The Discovery of a 5,000 Year-Old Man (ISBN 0679856471)

possible enemies of otzi:
One aspect that I have not seen yet is whether the blood samples are related as the tribes were fairly small and it would lend considerable light on the issue if the blood not belonging to otzi was in fact related to him in some way. I think it would be important to check this out although the blood could come from other struggles not the one that killed him but that could be determined.

The Ice Mummy review:
The Ice Mummy (...) I think that it is a very good book for 8 to 10 years old. I think that they would understand it a lot better than younger kids because it is not as simple as some book are. I really like this book a lot it was better than i though it would be. They have found out a little bit more information about the ice mummy.(...) The movie is more up to date because they have found out more information since the book has been produced.

Ice Mummy:
Ice Mummy by : Mark Dubowski The Ice Mummy is an excellent book . It is appropriate for everyone at all ages 3 and up because it is good that kids can learn about mummy. I like chapter 2 because it has really good and it has great pictures . It is a superior book i f you like any kind of mummy. I like the book use it is good and I like any kind of mummy. Yes the movie of the Ice mummy is up to date, but the book Ice Mummy is not up to date So the movie is but the book is not.

Ice Mummy the ice mummy:
the ice mummy my favorite chapter in ice mummy is chapter 6, time traveler. i savor that chapter because it tells about how he died and where he died . i believe the age group is 9 and up. one reason i think that is because it shows stuff little kids should not be able to see or read about. i enjoyed the book because it was interesting to read about. it also had the tools that the ice mummy had with him when he died. the people in the book tried to figure out how the ice mummy was killed in the book. the ice mummy is not up to date because the book was made in 1998. the ice mummy video was made in 2001. the book says that the ice mummy died from freezing to death. in the movie it says that he was shot in the back by a man who must have been mad at him.

Great introduction, but missing crucial info:
My son brought this book home from school, and we both enjoyed reading it. It was a good reading level for him (he's a precocious 6 1/2). It's an endlessly fascinating topic, one of the most significant finds ever in the field of archeology, it would seem. But there is a large and surprising omission from the story of the Iceman, which is that he died not from hypothermia as "Ice Mummy" claims, but from being shot by an arrow. The flint arrowhead is embedded in his shoulder, but its existence was overlooked (incredibly) for two whole years after his discovery. "Ice Mummy", however, was published seven years after the discovery, so one wonders why this information is not included. Except for this big hole, it's a great book, and even *with* the hole, I still recommend it, especially if you can fill in the remaining part of the story yourself (it's easy to find more information on the net).
