Some interesting info on Ötzi the Iceman...

Age and Appearance: He was roughly 45 years old when he died, stood about 5 feet 5 inches (160 cm) tall, and weighed around 110-140 pounds. He had dark hair, brown eyes, and suffered from various ailments including joint pain, tooth decay, and intestinal parasites.

Tattoos: His skin is marked with 61 distinct tattoos (mostly lines and crosses) across his body, which experts believe may have served a therapeutic purpose similar to early acupuncture.

The Last Meal: Stomach analysis shows he had a rich, heavy meal consisting of ibex meat, red deer meat, fat, and einkorn wheat roughly an hour before he died.

However, I think I'll put off the sourdough and wait until I can try a beer made from Ötzi yeast.
