Suzie Q, an intern at the Louisiana Laboratory, brings to our attention that the 25th anniversary of the Iceman discovery is just around the corner. To remember the day the Iceman was found, three authentic artifacts will be displayed at the Museum of Ancestral History.

He used those tools for hunting, growing crops and for survival. The Iceman’s advanced knowledge led to the creation of languages by keeping humans alive to that point of our existence. Without the Iceman, we would probably be living a different life
