Archaeology at your fingertips! With this exclusive app for kids
dedicated to Ötzi the Iceman, the young and young at heart
can take a fun and unforgettable journey into the Neolithic
Age. Thanks to the combined use of the most entertaining
features of the iPhone and iPad, learning through play has
never been easier.
Who was the Iceman? We know for sure that he was a man
from the Neolithic Age who died some 5,300 years ago amidst
the peaks of the Alps. The discovery of the Glacier Mummy and
his incredible mountain equipment has made it possible to
greatly expand our knowledge of the lives of our ancestors.
Created by
LARIXPRESS
in collaboration with the South Tyrol
Museum of Archaeology, this app is packed with surprising
and interesting Ötzi information: from the results of the
latest scientific research to his warm fur clothes.
The original soundtrack completes your full immersion into
the atmosphere of Ötzi’s world. The fun continues when you,
the young explorer, enter the Neolithic Age and dress Ötzi
with warm fur clothes, examine his tattoos with a magnifying
glass, and even transform yourself into the Iceman. Take a
photograph of yourself, choose a background and in two easy
steps, you can share your personalized image with friends...
and the adventure continues!
