Answer:

Ötzi, the Iceman, is a man of superlatives. Ötzi is the world's oldest wet mummy, and the clothes he wore and equipment he carried are unique. Ötzi's sudden death in the ice has preserved him virtually unchanged for thousands of years, giving us a snapshot of the routine life of a Copper Age man. In 1991, German tourists, hiking in the Alps between Austria and Italy, stumbled across the remains of a human body protruding from the ice. ... Some of Otzi's clothes were preserved, including the world's oldest pair of snowshoes and a woven coat.
