Throughout history, there have been several figures who have been shrouded in obscurity. A lot of these famous icons have only been seen in concrete or marble busts or in over-exaggerated portraits. Now with modern methods, forensic anthropologists are using CGI and 3D printing technology to recreate these important people, giving us a better idea of what they may have actually looked like. Now we can look into the very eyes of Cleopatra or Queen Elizabeth I and have these incredible individuals stare back at us.
KING TUT
The boy pharaoh of Egypt reigned from 1334 B.C. until his untimely death in 1324 B.C. when the young king was presumably killed by a hippopotamus while hunting. The boy king would have been forgotten by history if it weren’t for his tomb being rediscovered in 1922. But it would take many, many years for us to get a glimpse at who this young pharaoh was. All thanks to Howard Carter, we can finally see his likeness.
Over the years, many theories spread as to how King Tut lived. Many scientists believe that through inbreeding of the royal family in Egypt, the King suffered a great many deformities including an overbite, severe hip displacement, and a clubbed foot. Tut was considered a frail boy, but even still, someone had to rule and so Tut was crowned King at 9 years old, and only reigned for ten years until his untimely death.
