This iceman's voice was reconstructed and heard again 5,000 years after his death

THE frozen body of Ötzi the Iceman, was found 25 years ago September 19. 

To celebrate the occasion, experts met at Bolzano, Italy, home of the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, where Ötzi’s remains are displayed. The highlight of the International Mummy Congress was a vocal contribution from beyond the grave by the iceman himself.

Tourists Helmut and Erika Simon, walking off piste at an altitude of 3,200m in the Ötzal Alps, came upon the body of a man entombed in ice 93m inside the Italian border with Austria. Thinking they had found the remains of a mountaineer, they alerted the police. The cadaver was taken to Innsbruck for examination.
