## Resource

[Season 4, Episode 2] On today's episode we discuss an unusual piece of history which relates to Bible/science research; an amazing story of discovery with numerous intriguing applications. In 1991, the body of "Otzi the Iceman" was discovered in the high Alps where he lived and died over 5,000 years ago. This rare and remarkable find provides unusual insight into ancient times. Knowing the date of Otzi's death allows us to place him on the timeline, and we find that Otzi and ancient Bible history complement each other rather nicely. Many points about Otzi are brought forward by the work of The Biblical Chronologist , in an article Dr. Aardsma published back in 2002 .
