Otzi
Shepherd theory Traveller theory Warrior theory
• Otzi’s people might have been farmers as well as travellers and if they were would have needed Shepherds.

• Otzi had weapons that most shepherds carried with them.

• The place where Otzi was found was an important crossing place for shepherds with their animals.

• There were wars over copper and Otzi had a good copper axe and so he might have wanted to be a shepherd so that he wouldn’t be killed for the copper that he had.

• No trace of his village was ever found.

• He had goatskin clothes

• He had Maple leaves from the South

• He had charcoal

• The fact that Otzi had a bow and arrows, knife and an axe suggests that he might have been a shepherd

• • Otzi was found half way up a mountain and also at the time of Otzi his people were travellers.

• Severe arthritis

• The people of the villagers thought him to be magic because he made tools out of copper.

• Otzi may have been an outcast.

• Otzi could have been alone and running away.

• He had shoes made of grass and so if he travelled he would actually be able to find grass. • Otzi was carrying a bow and arrows, a knife and an axe. These items support the theory that Otzi was a Warrior as well as the fact that he had two wounds also supports this fact.

• Otzi lived in violent times, when people killed just for meat.

    Initially scientists thought he had frozen to death in the harsh weather; however, in 2001 an X-ray examination revealed an arrowhead was lodged in Ötzi’s left shoulder, that eventually lead to his demise. One of the four individuals who fought Ötzi pulled the arrow shaft out of his shoulder to avoid suspicion. The position of the arrowhead in his left shoulder, and the spot relative to where he died baffled the scientists. An experienced hunter had to have taken the shot based on elevation…

    The researchers changed their mind about how Ötzi died a few times based on what they found when examining him. The first thing they found was the arrowhead, the arrowhead confirmed he was killed and didn’t die of natural causes. After that they found blood in his brain which leads the researchers to believe that he was killed by blunt force trauma to the head. The final pieces of evidence was the food they found in his stomach and the ax that was left with his body. The scientists thought if he was running away from something he wouldn’t have eaten a big meal therefore the final conclusion was Ötzi was killed by someone he knew possibly from his community. This point is also supported because Ötzi’s ax was left with him which meant the person who killed him didn't want to be discovered with such a rare tool for the time period because others would know it was Ötzi’s ax.…

    Throughout the book Things Fall Apart, we see Okonkwo’s character change numerous ways. At the beginning of the book you see Okonkwo “come up from the coldest places.” One example of Okonkwo progressing from a rough place is on page 18, “With a father like Unoka, Okonkwo did not have the start in life which many young men had,” (Achebe). Unfortunately, Okonkwo did not have the life most men in Umuofia had. Most of the men in Okonkwo’s tribe were able to gain respect by having a father with high status. Sadly, Okonkwo’s father was a failure and Okonkwo could not inherit anything from him. In the end, Okonkwo had to gain his triumph by himself. Another example of Okonkwo coming up from a rough place is on page 16, “Okonkwo did not have the…
