The acknowledged date of the corpse, the fact that he was found in the high Alps, was involved in physical fight against others, are consistent with likely dating of the Universal Flood, recorded in the Bible and Sumerian antiquity. This historic event would involve everyone fleeing to higher ground (the highest mountains, e.g. the Alps) in a flight and fight for survival, which 3300 B.C. date coincides per the latest analysis published:

The acknowledged date of the corpse, the fact that he was found in the high Alps, was involved in physical fight against others, are consistent with likely dating of the Universal Flood, recorded in the Bible and Sumerian antiquity.

G.E. Aardsma whose recent paper (Radio carbon and Biblical Chronology ) argues that the Ussher chronology (flood at 2350 B.C.) is too short by exactly a millennium. According to this interpretation, Kings 6:1 should read "1480 years" not "480 years," Aardsma believes; correction of this apparent clerical error would then push Usshers flood date back to 3350 B.C.

The might be some who would want to suppress, alter, or control the first-hand evidence (from the 8 scientist eye-witnesses of Ice Man) of any archealogical exhibit that would refute the modern (20ht century) Uniformatarian theories of earth's age (which underlies radio carbon dating interpretation), and cause the entire scientific world to be disproven, whose livelihoods and publications would immediately be jeopardized.
