EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a detailed print of an ancient axe found with the Oetzi Iceman, a remarkable archaeological discovery. The axe, made from yew wood with leather binding, is believed to be the only completely preserved prehistoric axe in existence. It dates back to the Copper Age in the 4th millennium BC and is currently housed at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy. The image showcases the intricate craftsmanship of this artifact, highlighting its elbow-shaped shaft and copper blade. The Oetzi Iceman himself was a prehistoric mountaineer who lived around 3200 meters high in the Tyrolean Alps before being preserved within an ice glacier. Tragically, he met his demise due to an arrowhead wound on his left shoulder. Photographer Wolfgang Neeb has expertly captured this significant piece of history through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its historical value and aesthetic beauty. This photograph serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity and resourcefulness during ancient times. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back thousands of years ago when tools like these were essential for survival. It reminds us that even though time passes and civilizations evolve, there will always be remnants from our past waiting to be discovered and admired by future generations.
