Iceman Reborn 43 Season 16 Episode
He was stalked, attacked and left to die alone. Murdered more than 5,000 years ago, Otzi the Iceman is Europeโs oldest known natural mummy. Miraculously preserved in glacial ice, his remarkably intact remains continue to provide scientists, historians, and archeologists with groundbreaking discoveries about a crucial time in human history. But in order to protect him from contamination, this extraordinary body has been locked away, out of reach, in a frozen cryptโuntil now. NOVA joins renowned artist and paleo-sculptor Gary Staab as he has been granted rare access into the Icemanโs frozen lair. Gary has been charged with creating an exact replica of the mummy, which scientists and the public alike can then study up close and in person. As we see the Iceman reborn from 3D printing, resin, clay and paint, new revelations about Otziโs life and legacy come to light, including surprising secrets hidden in his genetic code.
