Ötzi the iceman's hidden tattoos uncovered: Scans reveal previously unseen inkings on 5,300-year-old mummy's ribcage
Experts from the European Academy of Bozen, Italy used multispectral imaging, including ultraviolet, visible and infrared wavelengths, to photograph the 5,000-year-old mummy's body (pictured bottom right). After processing the images using software designed to detect colour differences in the non-visible spectrum, the researchers discovered a group of unseen tattoos on Ötzi's lower right rib cage that are invisible to the naked eye. The original markings are pictured far left, and the scan results are shown centre. A paper has now mapped the 61 tattoos (pictured top right) in the Journal of Cultural Heritage.
