Ötzi the Iceman

Today we're talking about the ancient Italian ice-mummy known as Ötzi the Iceman. Join us to learn about the world's oldest pants, the ethics of archaeology, and and whether there really was sperm in Ötzi's anus. This episode was originally released on our Patreon in 2023. There are few points throughout the episode where the sound becomes crackly. It happens three or four times, and none of the instances last more than about 30 seconds. Check out our website, where you can find our sources, as well as everything there is to know about Queer as Fact. If you enjoy our content, consider supporting us on Patreon, checking out our merch, and following us on Instagram, Tumblr and Bluesky. [Image: text reading '"Ötzi" war schwul!"]
