EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable discovery of arrows and a bow found with the Oetzi Iceman, an ancient mountaineer from the Copper Age. Preserved in a pristine ice glacier at an astonishing altitude of 3200 meters in the Tyrolean Alps, this prehistoric artifact offers us a glimpse into our distant past. The intricate details captured by Wolfgang Neeb's lens reveal a skeletal weapon that once belonged to this enigmatic figure. The missing chord from the bow hints at its age and adds to its mystique. These unfinished arrows serve as evidence of their creator's skillful craftsmanship and dedication to hunting. It is believed that Oetzi met his untimely demise due to an arrowhead wound on his left shoulder, making these artifacts even more poignant. As we contemplate this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years, imagining the life of this hunter who roamed these very mountains. Displayed proudly at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy, these relics stand as testaments to human ingenuity and survival throughout history. They remind us that our ancestors possessed both physical prowess and artistic talent. Through Neeb's expert photography, we can appreciate every minute detail etched into these wooden treasures. This image serves as a reminder of how far humanity has come while honoring those who came before us – hunters like Oetzi who navigated treacherous terrains armed only with their bows and arrows.
