Ötzi the Iceman is a well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived about 5300 years ago. The mummy was found in September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps, hence Ötzi, near the Similaun mountain and Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy. He is the oldest known completely preserved human ice mummy. We performed the first paleo- multiomics study of this famous mummy including genomics, proteomics, glycomics, metabolomics, lipidomics and metallomics approaches. Complex multiomics data will be presented from samples taking out of his stomach. Interesting insights will be given in his last meal(s) and health conditions before he got killed.
