Ötzi the Iceman, a natural mummy discovered in the Alps, remained intact due to a combination of factors including the cold, dry conditions of the high-altitude environment where he was found, which preserved his body and belongings. The glacier in which he was buried acted as a protective barrier, preventing decay and scavenging. Additionally, the mummification process was aided by the low temperatures, which inhibited bacterial growth and decomposition. As a result, Ötzi provides valuable insights into prehistoric life.
