 Ice Man Cometh - From Italy (Oetzi)
The 5300-year-old mummy, known as Oetzi after the Oetz Valley region between the two countries where he was found, was at the centre of the bizarre ownership row after his corpse was found on the mountainous border region separating the two, in the disputed region of South Tyrol.

He was able to prove it after examining the iceman's dental enamel and bone and comparing the minerals he found with isotopes found to the north and south of the main Alpine ridge dividing Austria from Italy.
