CHICAGO (AP) — Though he
lived two centuries before King
Tut, his aches and pains were a
lot like yours and mine.
The 5,300-year-old “Ice Man,”
whose well-preserved body was
discovered in a glacier three
years ago in the Alps, had
arthritis, hardening of the arter
ies and broken ribs that healed
slowly over time, researchers re
ported Wednesday.
“When you think of 5,300
years, it seems like an enormous
time to any of us who maybe have
a life span of 70 years. But in evo
lutionary history, it’s just the
wink of an eye,” said Dr. William
A. Murphy Jr., head of diagnostic
imaging at the University of
Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston.
Murphy reported on the med
ical miseries of the mummy,
dubbed “Otzi” because it was
found in Italy’s Otzval Valley, at
the annual meeting of the Radio
logical Society of North America.
“It’s really not much different
from modern man,” Murphy said.
“There are just very impressive
similarities.”
Researchers believe the gap-
toothed Otzi was 25 to 40 when he
died, but he already had devel
oped fairly severe osteoarthritis —
the kind believed to result from
wear and tear — in his neck, low
back and one hip, Murphy said.
Osteoarthritis in one little toe
also suggests he may have suf
fered from a bout of frostbite,
Murphy said.
Calcium deposits were discov
ered in the blood vessels of Otzi’s
chest, pelvis and neck, indicating
heart disease stalked the Stone
Age man despite his almost cer
tainly rigorous existence.
“Fie had hardening of the arter
ies — arteriosclerosis,” Murphy
said. But researchers have no way
of knowing whether this was un
usual for men of Otzi’s age in that
era. “He’s the only reference point
we have for 5,300 years ago.”
Eight or so fractures were dis
covered in Otzi’s ribs, but no one
can say whether they occurred
all at once or at different times,
Murphy said.
“It’s the kind of thing that
might have hospitalized modern
man. It certainly would have sent
modern man to the emergency
room,” he said. “He did very well
with these; he certainly lived well
beyond the injuries.”
Murphy was part of an inter
national team assembled at the
University of Innsbruck, Aus
tria, to examine the mummy
with modern X-ray techniques.
They have taken more than
2,000 images of Otzi since, he
was found, Murphy said.
Otzi was found in the ice by
hikers. The corpse is the best
preserved European known
from an age 4,000 to 6,000
years ago, when humans were
just starting to use copper for
tools and weapons.
