Dutch artists Adrie and Alfons Kennys used the results of 3-D-scan skeleton "ice man" to recreate its full-size copy. Scientists initially believed that Oetzi's eyes were blue, the latest DNA testing confirmed that his eyes were brown.

After the mummy was brought into the lab, the researchers raised the temperature is 64 degrees Fahrenheit, to unfreeze the mummy. Melt water tested for bacteria, which contributed to an ancient mummy is so well preserved.
After lasted nine o'clock autopsy, the mummy was returned to the starting temperature of 21 degrees Fahrenheit and placed in a glass sarcophagus. The research took place in the Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano South Tyrol, Italy.

In the area of the knee to the foot of the mummy you can see the tattoo in the shape of a cross. Scientists suggest that this - traces of a kind of rite, aimed at the treatment of arthritis.

Lace from wood bark. its purpose is not established.
Shoes - consisting of grass, leather deer and bear skins. This shoes - one of the oldest ever discovered by scientists.
Dr. Eduard Egarter Wigley covers the mummy with a special solution before placing it back into the glass sarcophagus.
The mummy is in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy. The room temperature is maintained at 21 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity in the 98, 5 percent, simulating ice sheet that protected the mummy over five thousand years.
According to scientists, the ice man could be a little more than forty years.
