He was discovered in September of 1991 in the Ötztal Alps between Austria and Italy.

What Otzi The Iceman Really Looked Like
Otzi the Iceman’s mummy has offered us a view into the Europeans of the Copper Age. Otzi’s body was so well-preserved because he was submerged in ice for around 5,300 years. This naturalistic reconstruction of Otzi could not have been done if his body was not found in such good condition. This allowed scientists and archaeologists to get a very good idea of how he would have looked many years ago.
