Answer:

between 3400 and 3100

Step-by-step explanation:

The world's oldest mummy, a 46-year-old man entombed by a glacier about 5,200 years ago high in the mountains that border Austria and Italy, probably spent his entire life within a 37-mile (60-kilometer) range south of where he came to his final rest

The Iceman, is the natural mummy of a man who lived between 3400 and 3100. The mummy was found in September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps, hence the nickname Ötzi", near Similaun mountain and Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy.
