Ötzi's discovery was a stroke of luck for the study of prehistory. Ötzi, together with Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids, has become a universally recognized time marker. Ötzi has the oldest known tattoos in the world. They were made for medical reasons to ease pain, not for decorative purposes.
