Ötzi the Iceman died violently roughly 5,300 years ago in the Alpine region of the modern border between Italy and Austria. An arrowhead was found lodged in his left shoulder, having caused fatal bleeding when he was attacked in mountainous terrain. But, in some sense, Ötzi still lives, as new research shows.
Scientists have conducted the most comprehensive analysis to date of the microbial landscape of Otzi's mummy, detailing bacteria, fungi and yeasts across multiple tissue sites spanning more than three decades of sampling. Otzi's body, preserved by millennia of entombment in glacial conditions, was discovered in 1991. He represents Europe's oldest-known natural mummy.
冰人奥茨大约在5300年前死于暴力，地点在今天意大利和奥地利交界的阿尔卑斯山区。考古发现他的左肩嵌着一枚箭头——正是这场在高山地带遭遇的袭击导致了致命失血。但从某种意义上说，奥茨至今仍然"活着"，最新研究揭示了这一点。
科学家对奥茨木乃伊的微生物图谱进行了迄今最全面的分析，详细记录了跨越三十多年采样中、来自多个组织部位的细菌、真菌和酵母。奥茨的尸体在冰川环境中埋藏了数千年而得以保存，于1991年被发现。他是欧洲已知最古老的自然木乃伊。
