*sigh* They still want to believe that he was just a peaceful man who was ambushed while traveling.

Our Oetzi was a warrior.

Buried with a copper axe, shield, bow and broken arrows. The rest of his belongings were taken by his fellow warriors and they buried him in a ditch with his shield over him, and then covered him in snow to prevent scavengers from getting to his body.

The wound in his hand wasn’t an accident with a flint knife, it was a battle wound, as were the other injuries.

He was a warrior, and he died a violent death.

War is as ancient as mankind. It was the special evolutionary pressure that drove the development of advanced intelligence far beyond the natural need to find food and shelter. The leftest idea that war can now be stamped is a dangerous fantasy.
