I really liked this book. I can't believe this man lived so many years ago and in grass clothes. the pictures were really cool. He has tatoos and by being frozen you can still see them. He had all his stuff with him too. Like a bow and arrows and tools to make more arrows.

This book is absolutely wonderful!
It systematically portrays the evidence behind this little known discovery, and points to the fact that the "scientific world" does not have all the answers.
Here is the corpse of a man, very first thought to be a recent death, but then dated to be, perhaps, 5000 years old lying in the Alps. Once the police realized the enormity behind the find they had found, they called in the scientists.
The subsequent research was so contraversial, that it has been "hushed" and is only found on a few PBS stations and this little book.
Personally, I have to wonder if this "frozen man" was a child or grandchild of Adam.
I am a scientist, but I am a Christian, and this book about this hushed discovery once again smashes those two worlds together.
If you are a person who endeavors to pull this two worlds togethers, you would really enjoy this book. And the price is well worth it.
