英語流利說?Level5?Unit2?Part3 Interducing the Iceman

One of the most interesting people in history is probably someone you have never heard of.

We will call him "Iceman" because his body was frozen in ice for several thousand years.

His body was discovered in 1991 by two hikers in the mountains near the border of Austria and Italy.

The lower part of his body was still? frozen in ice but the upper part was uncovered and visible.

Once the body was extracted from the ice, it was taken in for examination.?

Upon examination, scientists determined that the Iceman lived around 5300 years ago.

This was at the end of the Stone Age, nearly 1000 years before the great?pyramids?were built.

This made him the oldest?mummy?ever found.
