Scientists have used facial reconstruction techniques to show what the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II looked like in his prime.
The face of the ancient Egyptian ruler Ramesses II — possibly the pharaoh of the biblical Book of Exodus who persecuted Moses and the Israelites — has been reconstructed from his mummified remains. And although the pharaoh died in his 90s, his visage has been"reverse aged" by several decades to show him in his prime, at about age 45.
"King Ramesses II was a great warrior who ruled Egypt for 66 years," Saleem told the radiology magazine AuntMinnieEurope.com . .)"Bringing Ramesses' face to life in his old age and as a young man reminds the world of his legendary status," she said.Mummy scanThe mummy of Ramesses II is now in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo.
Wilkinson explained that the field of estimating the face of someone from their skull is dominated by two approaches:"facial approximation," which uses average data, templates and biological profiles to produce an"average" face, which might result from several different skulls; and"facial reconstruction," a more detailed attempt to determine what a particular person looked like, based on anatomical standards, measurements and morphological analysis.
