Basically it was a complete waste of time and effort. The skeptics still scoff and the believers still delude themselves...
Indeed. Thank you. That was exactly the point I was hoping somebody would make.
And yet, there is not much (scientific) doubt that the ice-man from the alps was real, and how old he was, what he died from etc.
It seems that religious relics carry almost as much blind stubborn belief as UFO fragments or the footprints of the Sasquatch. Even sometimes with the scientists themselves.
