Documentaries and history books have told us about #KingTutankhamun, who was one of the most prominent #pharaohs of ancient #Egypt. Now, scientists have reconstructed his face after 3,300 years, unveiling what he would have looked like during his reign. A new study published in the Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology mentioned that teams from #Australia, #Italy and #Brazil utilised a digital model of his mummified skull and managed to re-create the face of King Tut.
As quoted by reports, Brazilian graphics expert and co-author Cicero Moraes said, "He looks like a young man with a delicate face. Looking at him, we see more of a young student than a politician full of responsibilities, which makes the historical figure even more interesting."
Moraes said that the team's lack of direct access to the former pharaoh's head made modelling extremely challenging.
But fortunately, the researchers were able to access documents from prior studies that included references to skull measurements as well as photographs of King Tut.
