[@Scientology_ismyruin]

I love how art and science come together…😊🇨🇦

[@Al-cynic]

The lack of care taken in the excavation/retrieval of Otzi is scientifically appalling..

[@SandraNelson063]

The folks who found him thought that they were working on someone who had passed away during the first world War, or someone who had been hiking recently through that area. They were completely uneducated in paleoarcheology or archeology. They meant well.

[@AS-qg1xu]

At least they found him!

[@AS-qg1xu]

​@@SandraNelson063I agree

[@sarahjparnell]

Do you not think there was a possibility that he might have met a suspicious death, regardless of when he died Cannot believe they did not call in the professionals.

[@leighearnshaw8353]

Yeah, it was pretty appalling, 1991, a while ago, but they still should have known to use gloves, and proper protective bags, etc when they went to retrieve Otzi, they must have realized he was not a modern human. Shame, but as you said, at least they found him and brought him back. He has expanded our knowledge of Man and history so much.

[@brucefreedman3655]

Otzi is an amazing archeological find and there is still so much to learn from him.

[@cruisepaige]

This is one of my favorite Otzi docos

[@intuitknit]

Archeologists must have been horrified to see those that discovered him hacking at his remains so carelessly. How can they tell the difference between the assault he suffered after he was found and what happened in his lifetime. Gawd

[@davidevans3227]

agree!

[@jomon723]

Duh......go to school

[@huha47]

Having spent some time in Süd Tirol, staying in Nals, hiking in the surrounding areas, we visited Ötzi in Bozen. A remarkable experience, and interesting how much research has gone into discovering who he was since we were there some 20 years ago. LG aus Kärnten.

[@cop4591]

Amazing work and discovery. Congratulations for all those who worked on this project.

[@mariaandreamolinacarryer8359]

Very interesting, Thank You PBS !! 👍 Great Work, as always.

[@davidevans3227]

just at the start where they find the body, they seem to be treating him and the site very roughly!

[@egoneberz4865]

Ötzi nicht Utzi....😖

[@d.parker4328]

They cannot pronounce the ö vowel.

[@rosieHolliday5887]

Slightly disappointing that they didn't recreate him as he would have been when he was alive. I would have enjoyed that more

[@leighearnshaw8353]

Yeah, I was waiting to see his face....

[@user-sj7xv1er1u]

I'm pretty sure I have seen a doc that does that.

[@benediktmorak4409]

by the way Ötsi was never found IN a glacier. But because the snow and ice are or better were melting. So the mountains released one more body. Which in the beginning no one thought of it would be THAT what it is now...

[@velvetunderpants44]

There's something very moving and encouraging about the enthusiasm of James Watson being shared by the children.

[@Lolodewednesday]

That artist is awesome

[@richardh8082]

Wonder why he wasn't robbed (the axe would've been highly prized item)

[@JohnA4564]

Because it could be murder evidence. Most probably the killer was member of his tribe.

[@dubinatub1]

bury the weapon with the dead a mark of respect

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

It was a *VERY* rare item back then that wouldn't have. Been given up without a fight. & would have obvious who it belonged to. & people would know that the owner had met with foul play.

[@AS-qg1xu]

Maybe population was sparse and no one stumbled across him (apart from the killer)

[@leighearnshaw8353]

I think cos he was hit in the shoulder that he managed to keep going a bit and hide before dying, lucky for us, so amazing to see the things he carried with him.

[@morgonerlenstar]

Very interesting

[@drazantodoric6040]

It is no surprise to me that OTZI has the most points of contact with Sardinia. I am sure that he carries a significant percentage of the I2a haplogroup (more than 40%), as does Sardinia, but also the peoples of the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia), that is, all the Dinaric peoples. That haplogroup is also called I2a DINARIC. It is the oldest haplogroup in Europe, and it is a feature of AUTOCHRONIC PEOPLE. They have been there for at least 26,500 years, probably more than 35,000 years.

[@johnpartridge7623]

Otzi is a Star of the 20th Century

[@Colourmad314]

Good program for schools age 8yrs will like this…

[@BixbySnyder209]

Get some PBS in your life.

[@antoniescargo1529]

Ötzi /Utzi, not Ootzi.

[@user-gw7dv1ru9w]

WHAT ANNOYS ME WITH THIS...DOCTOR'S GIVING MORE CARE TO THE DEAD THAN TO ALIVE PEOPLE..,🎉

[@sableempire9654]

Ive seen doctors totally abuse corpses. They’re scientists who assist people for $$$ nothing noble or self sacrificing about any of them. Most hate their patients. I lived with a surgeon for 13yrs. They’re all weirdos.

[@leighearnshaw8353]

Not true, different field, and we all would want to work on Otzi if we could and had the skills. Are you a doctor or someone that helps people...???

[@Luc-uw8ur]

They make an almost 1 hour long documentary and don’t even bother to pronounce his name correctly…😏

[@mickimicki]

Got on my nerves a little, too. But what can you expect from Americans 🤷🏻‍♀… To be fair, neither "Utzi" nor "Ötzi" is his real name 😂

[@Luc-uw8ur]

@@mickimicki you might have a point there…😉

[@SandraNelson063]

My housemate has one knee which is now basically bone on bone. She can't move without a rolllator or crutches. LOTS of pain killer. How in the world did Iceman do all that walking?

[@AS-qg1xu]

Ouch. How did that happen to your housemate?

[@leighearnshaw8353]

He had his tattoo's and his mushrooms, maybe we haven't advanced so much....

[@Stripeyperch]

His people were hunters and farmers.

[@julimeryecla230]

I thought they will be making a life-like replica that's why they call it REBORN...

[@JP-bb9hu]

Uutzi😊

[@Turretdown_Hero]

Was sure Chuck Lidell had made a comeback when i saw the title 😆

[@peace_be_with_you_in_all_ways]

If there has ever been a time to clone .....this is it

[@RolandusLuzus]

He is not called " Utzi" but ÖTZI ( with umlaut pls)!

[@Pillarguri]

Øtzi

[@peace_be_with_you_in_all_ways]

Maybe a man on the run

[@NaniFatimana]

He died cranking that Soulja Boy

[@jontaylor4511]

Too many irritating sound effects, just stick to the story.

[@badfairy9554]

It is. very 70s.

[@marcshelstead5355]

Have they consider the old sites in Turkey to determine human migration or still use old dogma ideas of biblical creations

[@janicehill-es1br]

You can rebuild him 😅

[@honeybunch5765]

Wonder who murdered him?

[@JohnA4564]

Member of his tribe.

[@doncameron6333]

I almost shit myself there for a second...I thought you were talking about Richard Kuklinski from Jersey.

[@TheBhumbak]

41:25 did not motion the Aryan invasion ?

[@Sam-nc9cy]

The dating is so wrong , golbeki tepe says otherwise farming 15000 years ago and before,

[@julieisthatart]

In my imagination, his name in life was probably something along the lines of "Scout" as I imagine his being a life of meat provider and first line of defense for his agrarian relatives.

[@goenzoy712]

Ötzi there is no U

[@mr_free_soul4]

Narrator was funny saying what is does for living I presume freelancer 😂

[@ophelias4172]

I find it funny that a 5000 year old dead man has an army of doctors looking after him. I know why, it just sounds funny.

Scientists, not doctors.

Well done PBS, you take one of the most interesting stories ever and turn it into a stupid documentary.

[@heenanyou]

A surgical mask is no good if worn under the nose. Shame.

[@cmiguel268]

Wow, my comment has disappeared. Censoring comments is wrong. And they criticise China.

[@badfairy9554]

mine has gone too. I put there was more than one Eve.

[@JamesBiggar]

Algorithm automatically flags comments that violate community guidelines. If the channel has certain 'family friendly' filters - given the type of program this is - then certain comments will be automatically flagged based on those filters as well. In short, learn to say what you want to say without being nasty about it. There's a huge difference between you or anyone else expecting good behavior and clean language when people visit your home or business, and an oppressive dictatorship. badfairy's comment is a good example. If all they wrote was "there was more than one Eve" then it would've been ok, just like the comment we're all reading now. There's more to your guys' stories than you care to share....
