The discovery and how they discovered held many similarities and differences. First off, the obvious is that they were both frozen, in areas of cold temperature. But how they were found, the way they were excavated has much difference. The iceman also known as ‘Otzi’ was discovered on the ground accidently by tourists, between Italy and Austria, The Alps, confused as a modern day murder, with his items scattered everywhere around him. While the ice maiden discovered in a coffin or Burial Chamber, in Utok (near the modern day border between China and Russia), The excavation process also showed differences. Otzi’s excavation of his body was very unprofessional. For tools, they used ice picks and ski poles which are not proper excavation tools. But for the Ice maidens it seems as if they were more careful and more professional. They had slowly defrosted it by pouring hot water on the ice. It seems that Otzi death was accidental or murder while The Ice Maiden was much more organized and prepared. There were also complications with Otzi’s discovery and excavation.…

The two types of ice that are encountered during flight are clear and rime. Clear ice is formed when the remaining liquid fragments of the water drop flows over the aircraft surface, constantly freezing as a smooth layer of solid ice. Forming occurs when droplets are bigger, such as in heavy rain or in thunderstorm clouds. Clear ice is solid, hard, heavy, and cohesive. Removing it by deicing equipment is very challenging.…
After being stuck under this enormous boulder for 127 hours, Aron knew that his survival required some harsh actions. Aron had no other choice but to amputate his arm, from the elbow below.

One of the four individuals who fought Ötzi pulled the arrow shaft out of his shoulder to avoid suspicion. The position of the arrowhead in his left shoulder, and the spot relative to where he died baffled the scientists. An experienced hunter had to have taken the shot based on elevation…

Another reason people think the Iceman died is a heart disease. A writer from Seeker.com interviewd study co-author Albert Zink. Zink said “we were very surprised that Otzi had a very strong disposition for cardiovascular disease.” He also said “ we didn't expect that people who lived so long ago already had the genetic setup for getting such kinds of diseases.” Another theory is that Otzi died from a brain injury. Scientists said “ surmised from a CAT scan of Otzi's brain that he had received a blow to the forehead during his deadly attack that caused to knock against the back of his head, creating dark spots from the bruising,” The only problem is there was no sign of damage to the outside or the skull there was so wounds…
