That was a fascinating program. All this new fangled technology being employed to recreate an exact replica of Otzi. I had no idea that the paleontological forensic artist and his staff live in Kearney MO, just up the road a piece from us.

When the program started I thought the idea was to take the measurements to recreate Otzi as he was in real life, carrying his bow, his quiver over his shoulder etc. The fact that they made the recreation as he was found was a real surprise.

The DNA analysis was also interesting. All in all, an outstanding program.
