The Curse of Ötzi the Iceman

In 1991, a mummified body was discovered in the Ötztal Alps on the border between Austria and Italy, later identified as a man who lived over 5,000 years ago. Nicknamed Ötzi the Iceman, the mummy is remarkably well-preserved, with his clothes, tools, and even his last meal intact. However, Ötzi’s discovery came with a dark twist—several people involved in the excavation and study of the mummy have died under mysterious circumstances, leading some to believe that Ötzi is cursed. Scientific explanations suggest that the deaths are coincidental, but the legend of the curse persists, adding an eerie layer to the story of this ancient man.
