The frozen, well-preserved body of a man was recently discovered in a glacier as the glacier melted  Artifacts found on the body reveal that the man lived at least 4, 000 years ago  The nature of the glacier indicates that the man died on virtually the same spot where his body was discovered
If the body had not been sealed in the glacier shortly after the man died, or if the body had thawed in the intervening millennia, it would not still be preserved
The glacier that melted to reveal the ancient is at least 4, 000 years old.
