S43E16 Iceman Reborn

2016-02-17

After being hunted, attacked, and left for dead over 5,000 years ago, Ötzi the Iceman stands as Europe’s oldest discovered natural mummy. Preserved in ice, his remarkably well-preserved body offers invaluable insights into a pivotal era of human existence. To safeguard his remains from contamination, Ötzi has been securely stored in a glacial crypt—until now. NOVA follows renowned paleo-sculptor Gary Staab, who has received special permission to access this frozen sanctuary. Tasked with crafting a precise replica of the Iceman, Gary’s work reveals new aspects of Ötzi’s life, including hidden secrets in his DNA.
