the iceman found recently in a glacier was a first thought to be about 5300 years old.Roughly when did he have his 14th birthday?2700bc,300bc,3700bc,5300bc or 7300bc
You may have a typo with the given answers. None of them is correct.
it's the right answers,that's why i cannot figure it out
To determine when the Iceman had his 14th birthday, we need to subtract 14 years from the age when he was found. The Iceman was thought to be about 5300 years old when he was discovered.
So, we subtract 14 from 5300: 5300 - 14 = 5286 years.
Next, we need to convert this number into a specific time period. Since the Iceman was found in 1991, we can subtract 5286 years from 1991 to approximate the time of his 14th birthday.
So, 1991 - 5286 = -3295 years.
Now, we convert this negative number into a BC (Before Christ) date.
Since "BC" years count down towards zero, the closer we get to zero, the further back in history we go.
So, the closest option given is 3700 BC, which is the best estimate for when the Iceman had his 14th birthday.
