Scientists find some microbes in Ötzi the Iceman mummy are still alive
Scientists have discovered that some microbes found on and inside Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummy, may still be alive. A new study analyzed the mummy's DNA, identifying fungal species adapted to cold environments that likely colonized his body before he died and froze. The research suggests these microbes could remain active for thousands of years, offering insights into ancient human microbiomes and posing challenges for preserving organic remains.
