Scientists have reconstructed the face of Ramses II, one of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. This has been reported by the Daily Mail.
Experts from Egypt and England took computed tomography of the skull to reproduce the facial features of the Egyptian ruler 3200 years after his death, and based on this, they obtained a 3D model. After that, scientists “rejuvenated” Ramses’ appearance with the help of technology to show him at his best.
As a result of the experiment, Sahar Salim, an expert at Cairo University, found that the face of the pharaoh was beautiful, with a prominent nose and a strong chin. He noted that he had the characteristic features of Ramses.
The most difficult problem for scientists was the lack of information about the hair color, eyes and skin of the monarch. The researchers also had no data on individual features of Ramses’ appearance, such as wrinkles and moles on his face. To get as close as possible to an accurate portrait of the pharaoh, the experts sent a corresponding request to their colleagues in the Sahara and studied the surviving written texts about the ruler.
