Read the following passage and answer the question given after it. 

Ötzi's discovery ranks as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. Ötzi the Iceman is well-preserved, 5,300-year-old mummy that caused an international sensation when it was dug out of a glacier high in the Italian Alps in 1991. 

Since that time, the naturally mummified individual - whom the press named Ötzi because he was found in the mountains above the Ötzal Valley - has continued to attract intense public interest and professional scrutiny as the man's mummified remains, the clothes he wore and the implements he carried have been studied over the past few decades. 

"He is so important because, for the first time, we have the possibility of knowing a Copper Age individual who died in the same situation as he had lived," said Katharina Hersel, a spokesperson for the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology inn Bolzano, Italy, where Ötzi is housed. 

Ötzi the Iceman was found by two German hikers who were making their way across the Tissenjoch Pass at an elevation of 10,530 feet (3,210 meters) above the Ötzal Valley in western Austria in September 1991. The hikers were skirting a glacier on the border of Austria and Italy when they noticed the upper part of a human body protruding from the ice. The summer had been particularly warm, Hersel said, and the high temperatures aided in exposing Ötzi's remains. The German hikers alerted the Austrian authorities, who, at first, thought the body was the victim of an unfortunate mountaineering accident. This assumption prompted a hasty attempt to extract the body from the ice the following day. The rescuers, none of them trained archaeologists, tried to dig Ötzi out of the ice using axes and jackhammers. In the process, the parts of the mummy -including the left hip and thigh and a few of his tools, including his bow - were damaged. Bad weather scuttled this first attempt to free the body from the ice, so the authorities tried again the next day. The rescue attempt took longer than anticipated, but five days after Ötzi's discovery, the mummy was freed from the ice and fully exposed. 

A helicopter carried the mummy off the mountain, and the iceman was transported to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Innsbruck Medical University in Austria. There, Konrad Spindler, an archaeologist at the University of Innsbruck, examined the remains and announced that the mummy was not a mountaineer but was "at least 4,000 years old," Scientific reported.
