5 Strange Creatures Found Frozen in Ice 

So the Ice Man had killed two guys with his bow and arrow, potentially also killed a guy with his hatchet, then possibly also carried a wounded comrade, and also dabbed in his death? This man is a legend.

"Floating in a block of ice" Ok so were going with cartoon style origins then?

You're seriously going to ignore the Ice Maiden's tattoos???

So there are still 19 relatives of Ötzi, the ice man, still today after more than 4 thousand years. Incredible.

So you're telling me that Ötzi fought off a group of men and prepared to die by lying all his tools in an orderly fashion, then just straight up dabbed in the moment of death?

I actually got to see the Minnesota Iceman when it went on display in Erie, PA at a local mall c. 1970. I was around 5 years old at the time but I can still remember being totally enthralled by it. I don't care if it was fake or not. It made me ask questions, and ultimately was a small part of the reason I became a natural scientist.

"Ice Maiden" is a pretty badass title.

Smh Captain America wasn’t even on the list

Weird to think of all the history that happened while utzi was buried in ice

I saw Ötzi when I went to Italy, absolutely amazing. The whole museum about him was truly eye opening, how scientists can find out all that from just a body.

Otzi is probably the most savage man that ever lived. He went out like a beast lol

Dog chewing on mammoth ear and tail thinking "this is the best chewy thing i've ever eaten"

“It’s been called the missing link between humans and Neanderthals” *facepalm*

The fate of Otzi could make for an interesting Sabaton song. Outnumbered, killing several of them and possibly carrying a wounded friend to safety while wounded himself

Y’all talking about otzi the ice man but the ice maiden was buried with a jar of weed, legend

Otzi had a deep cut on his palm and blood on his knife. I'm guessing he grabbed his opponents blade with one hand and then stabbed with the other. Pretty hard core!

When he says that Otzi is older than the Pyramids, you realize how old the Pyramids are.

Man the story about how Otzi died actually makes me genuinely sad. He takes out 2-3 of his attackers and tries to flee while carrying his buddy, only to get shot in the back. Then when he realized he was gonna die, he laid his stuff in a pile and waited for the end. Far from home, on a mountain just waiting to die. Wow that gets to me.

She truly must of been important, everyone else gets their stash smoked when they die.

Actually saw the pseudo-Bigfoot "Ice Man" twice, when I was a kid, when it was part of a traveling carnival exhibit, in the late '60s. And the story of its origins kept changing (It was shot in the face, hence the damaged eye, deep in the woods of the Yukon...Wait, no, it was ACTUALLY shot in Minnesota!) LOL

I have some mystery food fossils wrapped in aluminum foil in my freezer.

I hope those archaeologist rolled one up for the ice princess when they found her stash

Why include a hoax....

Archaeologist 1: hey what's this weed doin here? Archaeologist 2(High as hell): uh

7:35 Imagine smoking 1000+ Year Old Ice Maiden weed.

"Managed to fool two cryptozoologists" ...well that's a feat for sure!

I saw the Ice man when it was on tour, I smelled BS as soon as I saw it.

Imagine how crazy it must have felt to be one of the scientists finding preserved blood cells. That must’ve been insane.

Otzi died in a gang fight with a rival group from the hood. They left little to dispute about that Italian man... It was a very believable story they put together.

The precious, amazing discovery, of a preserved baby Woolley mammoth, which survived tens of thousands of years, intact, needlessly lost its ear and tail when they were chewed up by a local dog. The cousin of the guy who discovered the mammoth sold it to a store owner before the museum curator got there, and the owner carelessly propped up this fantastic, priceless discovery outside his crappy store in case anyone wanted to buy it. It’s infuriating how the greed of this one guy ruined a specimen forever.

Ötzi’s story is so cool and like idk how to describe the feels. Ötzi was a tuff dude!

Otzi went out like a badass goddamn it

Obviously they didn't know this back then, but describing that thing as "the missing link between humans and Neanderthals" is absurd at so many levels. Neanderthals are so much like _Homo sapiens_ that they are sometimes called _Homo sapiens neanderthalensis_ (therefore considering them to be a subspecies of _Homo sapiens_). In fact, they are so similar that we actually interbred - most of us have some Neanderthal gene in our DNA.

“Making it seems as she could open her eyes and look at me” Gotta say that does not sound fun seeing a mammoth mummy open it’s eyes at you

Great video, I love your narration. It’s crazy that stuff from thousands of years ago can be rediscovered almost fully intact.

Ötzi was a true warrior 😂 went out like a man

When you start off with a hoax it doesn't bode well for the rest of the video.

No body wanna talk about those dope ass tats on the ice maiden

It doesn't need to be a "good hoax" to fool a Cryptozoologist.

I like how even people from thousands of years ago had tattoos

The ice maiden’s tattoos are amazing

The thing that gets me is that the mammoth was already frozen for 8,000 years (almost twice as long as all of recorded human history) by the time the woolly rhino died!

As a former police officer, I have suspected that Otzi died by a self- inflicted wound, via falling and causing one of his arrows to enter his back. The other wounds detailed would also have been from this fall, which was probably considerable. As for the arrow shaft being broken, this too likely occurred while he continued his tumbling and rolling down a mountainside. During my active duty, I investigated a poacher who was using a bow and arrow. He fell out of the tree he had been using, and when he landed, one of his arrows pierced him, causing his poaching buddies to call 911 for an ambulance. Being stabbed by his own arrow was absolutely Poetic Justice.

The last guy is an absolute boss.

that poor little baby mammoth.

That dog is likely the only living creature on earth that has eaten mammoth meat.

I saw the Minnesota ice man in the late 1960's. He was in a carnival sideshow and was in a freezer full of ice. You could pay around 50 cents and walk by this freezer and look at him from about 2 feet away. They claimed he was found in a block of ice, and was the sought-after "Missing Link". This was a term that was common back then since there was no clear connection in the fossil record between apes and humans. To me, the body looked very real, and I recall seeing tiny bubbles in the ice coming up from some of the spots in his skin where the hairs came out. I don't know if that's something that happens when a body is frozen shortly after death or not. Or maybe it's due to fake hairs being inserted into the body. It seems like I remember seeing some blood in the ice as well, but I'm not sure. I've heard some say that ice flows and moves too much to preserve a body for a very long time. But then again, there are examples like the famous baby woolly mammoth with buttercups in it's mouth, which was apparently encased in ice for over 10,000 years.

If its a fake why the hell do you bother putting it in here!?

There is no such thing as a "missing link between humans and Neanderthals." Neanderthals were a separate species that evolved at the same time as modern humans, and with whom early humans interbred. A "missing link" between them, wouldn't look like an ape, if such a thing existed, since Neanderthals looked much like modern humans. Why would the "missing link" be less evolved than both species it supposedly links?

Did the stories of Sasha and Lupa make anyone else tear up or just me? 🐘🐘😭😭

0:55 "It has been called the missing link", I just call it a cheezy hoax.

Neanderthals and Modern Man went down two entirely different trees. Neanderthals weren't 'less developed', they just didn't populate enough. When we showed up, easily having a population ten times that of the neanderthal population, we bred with them and since there were so many more of us than them they eventually got mixed into our ancestry. That's why many people around today have like one to four percent neanderthal blood.

"5 Strange Creatures Found Frozen in Ice" #1. A noncreature, latex model never frozen in ice. Wow that is a strange creature that was found frozen in ice

But why would the MInnesota Iceman be presented as "the missing link between Neanderthals and humans" when Neanderthals looked more like humans than that thing does? Neanderthals didn't look like hairy apes, just slightly wider stockier humans.

I LOVE THIS! I knew that the Utzi was murdered or severely injured, but when I learned it, they were probably still collecting info from all their tests and the artifacts nearby. The articles and stories I had read at the time said the evidence so far suggested he might have been: either a farmer who was killed during a sheep-napping, or that he was a hunter who was attacked by an unknown party, and shortly succumbed to his wounds after collapsing in the snow and ice. It's cool how they now have BLOOD TRACES of other individuals preserved within his clothes and tools! So much has been put together since their original proposal ;)

You are right, the Princesses body from over 2,000 years ago tells us alot... it tells us that CANNABIS was used for pain, even pain related to cancer... if it isn't broke, don't fix it!

The Minnesota iceman was shot in the Amityville Horror house by Elvis when the Y2K bug made the lasergun he stole from Area 51 misfire

Really enjoying your content, this was fascinating and very well made.

Utzi looks a friendly chap. I always feel sorry for the young animals.

A missing link between humans and Neanderthals? Ever thought about learning a bit of anthropology?

I remember seeing the Minnesota iceman back in the 70s in Pittsbugh. You paid a couple of bucks to look at it in a block of ice in a freezer. I returned several times over the week it was on display. I remember there was blood frozen in the ice around the eye socket from the supposed bullet wound. It look very real all the way down to the individual hairs on the toes and dirt under the nails. If it was fake these guy's were amazing

Great video Ben! I loving seeing things from the ice age still intact today :)

That was excellent Ben, though I do agree with your comment in Part 2 that it was perhaps a mistake to include the Minnesota Iceman, especially as the first item. I enjoy all you post, keep up the excellent work!

For someone who's first language is English, your pronounciation of "Ötzi" is really spot on! I say that because I never heard that name being pronounced correctly or in general I almost never heard someone who's first language isn't German pronouncing "ä", "ö", "ü" correctly. xD Great video and great channel! Greetings from South Tyrol, where Ötzi was found! ;)

I saw Ötzi at the museum, and by looking at it, I thought about a possible explanation of what happened. I think that a tribe attacked his family/ tribe and he fought back, and then he tried to escape in the mountains. Or maybe he murdered a family/tribe and looked for shelter in the mountains from the survivors coming to kill him. He also got a cut inside his half-closed hand, and it was found out that he got that cut fighting few days before, and he wasn't prepared to go on a mountain: in fact, he didn't have proper mountain shoes, and this seems to be because he went on the mountain in a rush, forgetting at his possible village/tent the proper equipment. Also, he managed to walk/run a long distance in few time. All these evidences seem to prove that he was running away from one or more people following him to kill him.

Ive seen the princess and the mammoth when i was young. This got me interested in biology so im watching your videos now in Taiwan.

I'm a bit torn on situations like the Ice Maiden. On one hand, I think it's fascinating to study everything related to the burial for the sake of science, but I think it's disrespectful to dig her up and put her on display when such great care was given to putting her to rest.

"So it turned out that the thing was a fake despite being scrutinised by two cryptozoologists." yea, NO SHIT

That dog just wanted to know what 42,000 year old mammoth meat tasted like

I saw that Iceman at the Great Jones County Fair In Monticello Iowa way back in the early 60's for a 10 cent admission charge!

WAIT THAT WAS MY UNCLE!! COOL VIDS BEN!! : ) good views too!! well done!!

Minnesota Iceman was determined to be a fake though.

@0:12 he died cranking that Soulja Boy

The moment you realize a baby mammoth named Luba will most likely be remembered through time far after you are forgotten.

Great video, I really enjoyed it. Thank you

Great job my man.....kept me watching until the end......witch is more then i can say for most video's.

I have been hunting this kind of videos from a long time and i must say this video have been presented very well..you must been researching from a long time as you have mentioned in details of otzi, luba, ..great work..

That dog probably was so happy. Getting to gnaw on some mummified mammoth tail and ear!

They know all this But still don’t know who killed Tupac ?🤦🏽‍♂️

damn Otzi is a ganster!!!

Otzi obviously won the fight or the other people would have taken his s***

Like how there is alot of info and not just tossing fake around I'm definitely subscribing

Lyuba, your death was not in vain for a species who may not have respected you fully until thousands of years later. We appreciate your pickled contribution to our knowledge. 😔 ❤️

Very nice job, lots of information on each, more than on a few other channels, thanks.

My mind is blown on the Ice Maiden!? I have to do more research, that was a pretty amazing story.

It said that there are 19 descendants currently alive in the area in which he would have lived..... I wonder what those 19 people think about their ancestor.

The Ice Maiden's tattoos are just phenomenal. Such incredible detail.

0:10 The oldest dab in the book.

Why no comments on the "princess with the tattoos "?

0:13 first dabb in human history...

Cool finds! I love the stories that go with them, it's amazing how much we can learn from animals from so long ago.

Siberia is still the home of amazing undiscovered specimens.

Like that time me and Stoney defrosted an ice man who and became the hippest kids on campus.

Ice maiden smoked weed, she's alright by me.

Thanks for this. I really enjoyed it

Great narration!

Anyone remember this Iceman Episode on SCOOBY DOO???? 😑😋😑😋

Back in the early 70s, I got to see the Minnesota Iceman three times, and nearly got to see it a fourth time. The first time, we were allowed to be close enough that you could lean over the container of ice. That had to been around '73 to maybe 1975, probably closer to '73. You could see the hair growing out of pores so clearly that there was no question that it was anything other than some biological being. The tour was in a shopping mall in their center courtyard. I think it cost maybe 50 cents to go through the tour, which consisted of following a line as it zip-zagged back and forth until you got to walk by the frozen display. There were long lines to see the thing, but we each had plenty of time to get a real good look. No one thought it did not look real. I was able to see it twice at the same mall. Being really curious about such a thing, I got to talk to the man that was taking him around (and it was definitely not James Stewart). I won his confidence and got to talk to the owner while others went through the tour. He told me a lot more about how the Iceman, and that he was concerned that it would get taken away from him to prevent people from ever believing something like this was possible. Part of his incentive was that the more people that saw it, the better off he was in preventing it from being hidden from the public. He also was aware of the necessity to keep the flesh from decomposing even though it was on ice. He knew that some point, it would not be possible to show it anymore. We talked about other other science oddities, and concluded that it would be rare for any other oddities to be discovered in this modern of an age, but we both agreed that if it happened, and confirmed by scientists, we would not be totally surprised. One thing that surprised me was that the owner would never have believed something like the Iceman would be possible until it had happened. It was some time after that I got a third chance to see the Iceman. The person I had spoke to was nowhere around, so I paid my fee and went through the line. We could get right next to the container but not so close you could lean over it. Still you could get a real good look at it. This time, the Iceman looked quite a bit different. Where individual hairs joined the flesh, it did not look real at all. Maybe the decomposing was making it look different. The Iceman overall looked different, and the ice had more air distortions in it, making it harder to see some parts of the body. I wondered if it had been thawed, moved some, then refrozen. I wondered if some of the insides were caving in necessitating the thawing and refreezing. This time others were saying that it did not look real, and some of them had seen it the last time, and agreed it looked different. Others were totally convinced it was real. After the tour, I went shopping in the mall, and stayed there until it was near closing time as usual, then my girlfriend and I would go the movies at the end of the mall. When I walked back by the courtyard, the tours had ended, and everything was being hauled away. I asked one of the workers if the owner was there, and he said that he was outside at the truck. I went looking for him, hoping he would remember me. I found him, but since they were finishing up, I didn't have as much time to talk to him as I had before. He remembered meeting me before. I asked him why the Iceman looked different now. I'll never forget how he said it, when he said with a smile, 'keep this to yourself, but that might not be what you first saw if you know what I mean. A man's got to make living." He smiled as he shook my hand, and I told him with a return smile, "good job" because it definitely had fooled some of the people. That is the first time I ever considered that this one might be a fake. That explained why the hair did not look so natural. At least he had solved the ongoing decomposing problem. The next time I got a chance to see the Iceman, the owner was not touring with it, at least that is what I was told. I passed on the tour because I was confident that it had to be the fake one, but I did ask a few that went on the tour what it was like. Some had seen it before, although it was not clear when that happened, but they believed it was the same one, and that it looked "like it could be fake" but they were not sure either way. Some others were confident it was real without a doubt, and still others were confident that it was fake. Their beliefs seemed to align with whether they thought such a thing was possible or not, as in whether we know about all creatures on earth yet. I figured it was best to not say anything about my conversations with the owner. It was more fun to see how convincing it was to those that believed it had to be real. I believe the owner did what he had to do to keep making money with it. It wasn't like this was his hobby. This was his only means of income as far as I could tell. Either way, I didn't feel like I was cheated out of my money, since it was such a cheap price. The man I met was a very likable figure. I felt privileged to get to speak to him. I will not fault the guy because I did get to see one earlier on that truly looked like a humanoid real life-form, with believable facial hair and where the hair thinned out near the hands. I'm just glad I got to see it at all. From what I can tell, the one in Texas is not worth paying 50 cents to see, simply because it is so clear to a lot of people that it is a fake.

I was fascinated by Otzi when I was younger. Recently I learned we had something in common...Lyme Disease! It's so amazing that more and more is being learned.

Fun fact: Otzi was also 10% Neanderthal. Today's humans have only 4% at the very most.
