EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - the Cap, or hood, found with the Oetzi Iceman. Dating back to the Copper Age in the 4th millennium BC, this woolen cap was discovered alongside the mummified remains of Oetzi at an astonishing altitude of 3200 meters in the Tyrolean Alps. Preserved within an ice glacier for millennia, Oetzi is believed to have met his demise due to an arrowhead wound in his left shoulder. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this cap speak volumes about the skills possessed by our prehistoric ancestors. Made from animal skin during a time when survival relied heavily on resourcefulness and adaptability, it serves as a testament to their ingenuity. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Wolfgang Neeb, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into Oetzi's world. The skeletal remains of his body still adorned with remnants of hair further emphasize his humanity and evoke a sense of awe at how far we have come as a species. This artifact not only sheds light on ancient fashion but also provides invaluable insights into our shared history. It stands as both an archaeological treasure and a reminder that even thousands of years later, human curiosity continues to unravel mysteries hidden beneath layers of ice and time.
