University of Tehran College of Engineering, Iran 2015
Dr. Patrick Hunt was a keynote speaker in Iran at the University of Tehran College of Engineering 80th Anniversary Celebration in late January 2015 for the release of the multimedia book and documentary 5000 Years of Iranian Engineering.
What was life like in the Neolithic Age? Dr. Patrick Hunt describes new research on the oldest mummy ever discovered. “Otzi,” found embedded in ice in the Oztal Alps, is over 5000 years old. Work on his frozen body is casting new light on how people ate, drank, clothed themselves and generally existed so long ago. Dr. Hunt, who directed the Stanford Alpine Archaeology Project (1994-2012), discusses how new scientific methods are helping archaeologists draw conclusions about the lives of our far off ancestors.
