abstract:
Ötzi the Iceman's, the mummy found some years ago on the top of the Similaun mountain, lived 5300 years ago, and obviously, we cannot say which language, which phonemes, or even which sounds could belong to him. In this work, still in its initial stage, a possible
reconstruction of an "approximation" of Ötzi the Iceman's voice, recreating the timbre or colour of his stone-age possible vowels will be described.
