An artistic rendering of the Italian Iceman known as Otzi. Researchers in Italy hope to recreate Otzi’s voice by constructing a model of his vocal tract with CT scans. And by recreating the “timbre and color” of the iceman’s voice, specialists in Bolzano and Padua will get the world’s oldest mummy to “speak” stone-age vowels. Rolando Füst?s, an ENT consultant at the San Maurizio Hospital, who is leading the new project, said there were particular difficulties working with a 5,300-year-old, specially conserved body – by far the oldest mummified person ever found.
