Yes but life expectancy was a lot shorter. In the United States in 1910, the average life expectancy for a male was around 48. We may not eat as healthy or get as much exercise today, but the average life expectancy for a male in America today is around age 78.; Reply to this comment

This guy would have been in great shape, stronger than any athlete today. His diet was healthier than the modern diets of today. In life, I bet he looked younger than the artist protray him.

Should I be shocked that the man doesn't look like an ape? As a Christian, probably not!

by TheKnowerseeker March 2, 2011 10:16 AM EST: I think he looks like Dubya with a beard.


by rf35 March 2, 2011 10:57 AM EST: Why would he look like an ape? He's only 5,000 years old. You need to go back another million to get to something that looks relatively ape-like. Incidentally, since humans are classified as a great ape we all look like apes right now. One religion does not trump facts.

But you're right on the second comment...he does look a bit like Bush the Lesser.

Looks like the homeless guy I passed yesterday on a sidewalk.
Yawn.
King Tut was older than this dude and he looks like us.
Are we missing something?

by bets1010-2009 March 2, 2011 10:03 AM EST: King Tut was NOT older than this guy - Oetzi has more than 1600 years over Tut.

Perhaps "we" are missing something...
