In a joint scientific project led by researchers from Egypt and England, the mummy of Ramses II was “digitally unwrapped,” allowing historians to observe the famous pharaoh at the time of his death, at the age of 90, for the first time.“The most scientific approach is to use measurements from a population that is as close as possible to your subject — which is what we did.”Imaging experts then reversed the aging process and revealed the ruler’s face at the younger age of 45.According to Caroline Wilkinson, director of the Face Lab at Liverpool John Moores University, the reconstruction process involved a “computer tomography (CT) model of the skull” and a “database of pre-modeled facial anatomy that we import and then alter to fit the skull.”“We all have more or less the same muscles from the same origins with the same attachments,” she explained.Ramses II (c. 1303–1213 BC) is commonly associated with the figure who was in power during the biblical Book of Exodus, which tells the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt after years of slavery, under the leadership of Moses.?Christian Corbet, used a 3D model based on scans of the Tutankhamun’s skull to bring the ancient Egyptian “boy king” to life, with the end result being called one of the most realistic reconstructions of Tutankhamun ever created."
