neolithic (late stone age) reenacting
#11
Quote:The discovery of Oetzi the Iceman in the Alps was a breakthrough in prehistoric archaeology
I remember a documentary about him which had a surprising discovery about his tattoos. Someone saw them and after a while realised they corresponded exactly with known acupunture points (and I mean pinpoint accuracy - no pun intended). It's thought he had a 'prescription' tattooed onto his body so he could get specific treatments wherever he went. I vaguely recall some of the points on his tattoos may have been applicable to old injuries or ailments he had.

Cheers.
