    The researchers changed their mind about how Ötzi died a few times based on what they found when examining him. The first thing they found was the arrowhead, the arrowhead confirmed he was killed and didn’t die of natural causes. After that they found blood in his brain which leads the researchers to believe that he was killed by blunt force trauma to the head. The final pieces of evidence was the food they found in his stomach and the ax that was left with his body. The scientists thought if he was running away from something he wouldn’t have eaten a big meal therefore the final conclusion was Ötzi was killed by someone he knew possibly from his community. This point is also supported because Ötzi’s ax was left with him which meant the person who killed him didn't want to be discovered with such a rare tool for the time period because others would know it was Ötzi’s ax.…

They both had wandered slightly off trail when Erika spotted a head and shoulders sticking out of the ice, she first thought it was a discarded doll, but it was later found out to be an ancient traveler now known as the Iceman.

    Okonkwo Vs. Oedipus

    It is ironic how both of these men's lives were good until some information was spread around that either tore them apart, ruined them, or both. Information getting to them is what led to the end of both Okonkwo and Oedipus. For Okonkwo it was Christianity. When Christianity moved into his area and started taking over, he just gave up. The information that the Christians were preaching, made so much sense that many people began to convert. This effected Okonkwo in a big way, especially when his own son converted. Eventually, after many failed efforts to stop Christianity, he hangs himself. Oedipus on the other hand never actually killed…

    North of Alaska, ripples scattered over the water as the small 'u' shaped trawler glided through the shivering water. As Summer swept through, the mountains with the remains of snow enclosed the lake, distant from the open sea. A small gulley was the only way to access the unknown feverish water. A thin layer of ice sat clumsily on the cool liquid. As the humble boat pierced through the slender layer of ice, it parted with ease leaving a slushy mix on the surface. Calmly, the middle aged man walked to the bow lowering the now ancient anchor. As ancient as the anchor so was the boat. White paint peeled from the side and hull, the raw timber now exposed. As the man walked across the decaying boards they screamed in protest. The man, Tim Kolveski,…
