Tutankhamon
The last fall, the world was hit by the publication of a 3D image of Tutankhamen, created by a team of scientists who examined his tomb. The first full-length portrait of the Egyptian pharaoh is based on an analysis of the anatomical features of the mummy – in total about 2,000 scans of the remains were made.
The resulting image turned out to be surprisingly ugly and far from the majestic image that was captured in Pharaoh’s golden funeral mask, which is kept in the Cairo Museum’s collection. Computer-modeled Tutankhamen is described as a lame and effeminate young man with protruding teeth, malocclusion, wide hips and narrow shoulders.
