Archaeology at your fingertips! With this exclusive app for kids

---

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!

downloaded on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. All the stories 

have been written specifically for publication on these new 

devices.  They  have  been  developed  through  close  collabo-

ration  between  authors,  illustrators,  programmers  and  the 

 

LARIXPRESS

  team.  In  this  way  we  have  managed  to  fully 

 exploit the potential of digital technology, with the aim of 

producing truly interactive and multimedia applications.

What sets our publishing products apart is the special atten-

tion given to each page’s written format and graphic layout. 

Our main objective is to encourage reading from a very young 

age, with high-quality material.

>  Further develop books and enthral young 

  people with tales of nature and culture 

  in magical moments of reading.

>  Make reading more fun via interactive 

  elements.

>  Awake curiosity and stimulate fantasy.

>  Promote language learning in an 

  ever-more united world.
