Ötzi the Iceman, was a hunter. What a guy would be doing, then, at so high altitude above sea level?

He was hunting. He was well fed. he was mid forties. An old man for that era.

As still trying to prove himself a hunter, despite old age he decided to have a go at the dangeorus animal. He had been seriously sick 3x in the past year, he wanted to show the tribe he still was the man.

He went up the mountains probably to hunt a dangerous animal that had killed humans or was competing for a prey the humans hunted for food.

He went up found the animal but was attacked by it. A fellow hunter got to the spot and shot a few arrows at both hunter and animal engulfed in a bloody fight. An arrow perforated his shoulder blade and killed him.

It was tough to come back to the tribe and explain he was killed by friendly fire. Ötzi was probably liked and respected among the tribe fellow tribesmen. Thus his fellow hunters buried him and told the tribe he went up, got the animal but lost the fight and was taken away.

Not to be caught with any Ötzi's property they buried him with all his clothes and weapons and properties. Ötzi laid there until some hikers found as ice melted in a south side of the mountain.

And then Elmat, after 5.300 years, tells what really happened with Ötzi. So that Ötzi and his fellow hunters can now RIP that no harm was done that early Summer 5.300 years ago.
