funny and interesting adventures around your galaxy find!
25 years ago yesterday, Ötzi, the 5250 yr old ice mummy , was found by a German couple Helmut and Erika Simon.
It was 19 years later, after a long debate before court, that they got awarded their finder's fee of €175.000, 55.000 of which were lawyers' fees.
Helmut Simon was already dead by then.
Even rumours of a Curse of the Ice Mummy have blossomed - you know, like Tut Ankh Amun and those inexplicable deaths of people who found that grave in Egypt?
Apparently, 9 people involved with the find or examination of Otzi have died ...Including Helmut Simon
You should be relieved that you found a galaxy and not a mummy even though you probably don't get a finder's fee.
