3
Who Killed the Iceman?
4
In 1991, high in the mountains of Europe, hikers made a shocking discovery.
5
A dead man partly frozen in the ice.
6
The police investigation soon became a scientific one.
7
Carbon dating indicated that the man died over 5,300 years ago.
8
Today, he is known as the Iceman and nicknamed Utsi for the Uttal Alps where he was found.
9
Kept in perfect condition by the ice,
10
he is the oldest complete human body found on Earth. Who was the Iceman?
11
Scientists believe Utsi was an important person in his village.
12
Examinations of his teeth and skull tell us he was in his mid-forties when he died.
13
The things he carried also tell us about who he was.
14
His knife was made of stone, but he carried a copper axe.
15
This was a valuable tool in Utsi's time, and suggests that he may have been a local leader.
16
A fire-starting kit was discovered with him, so we know he could make fire.
17
And the food he ate and carried enabled scientists to know exactly where in Italy he lived, a village down in the valley.
18
Clues to an ancient murder.
19
But why did Utsi die in such a high and icy place?
20
Some said he was a lost farmer or shepherd.
21
Others thought he was killed in a religious ceremony.
22
No one knows for sure.
23
Over the years, tiny scientific discoveries have led to great changes in our understanding of Utsi's story.
24
Once the story was that he fled up there and walked around in the snow and probably died of exposure, said scientist Klaus Ogle.
25
Now it's all changed.
26
It's more like a crime scene.
27
A bloody discovery.
28
In fact, the newest scientific information indicates Utsi was cruelly murdered.
29
In June 2001, an x-ray of the body showed a small dark shape beneath Utsi's left shoulder.
30
It was the stone head of an arrow that had hit him from behind.
31
CT scans showed that this caused an injury that killed him very quickly.
32
Then, in 2003, an Australian scientist discovered the blood of four other people on Utsi's clothes.
33
Was Utsi killed in a fight?
34
It isn't likely, as Utsi's other injuries on his hand and head had already started to close.
35
This means there probably was a fight, but it happened much earlier.
36
Perhaps Utsi was being chased when he died.
37
In 2010, scientists took the mummy out of the cold and examined him again.
38
They discovered that just before his death, he had a big meal of bread
39
and goat meat in 2018 further analysis of his stomach showed utzi had also eaten deer meat
40
would someone being chased stop to eat a large meal the scientists don't think
41
so more likely he was attacked while resting he may have thought he had escaped and was safe today the research continues,
42
proving some of these ideas as false while opening the door to others.
43
Utsi, it seems, has more to tell us about his life and the time in which he lived.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
