In 1991, two German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon, were hiking in the mountains in Italy, near the border with Austria. They were coming back down the mountain when one of them saw something in the ice. As they got closer, they realised that they were looking at a man's body. They reported the body and carried on hiking When the police arrived the next day, they tried to get the body out of the ice. Everyone thought that it was the body of an unlucky mountain climber and they weren't very careful. They accidentally tore the clothes and also broke one arm. But when scientists studied the body they were shocked. Amazingly, the body was 5,000 years old. He was quickly given the name Otzi the lceman. Otzi is one of the oldest most complete human bodies ever found
