The video tutorial explains the process of creating a physical 3D model of a Canaanite skull. It begins with slicing a virtual skull into cross-sectional layers using computer software. These layers are then printed using a modified printer that uses glue instead of ink and powder instead of paper. After 6.5 hours, the result is a cube of powder containing the skull. The final step involves exposing the skull with air pressure to remove excess powder, revealing a 3D model that retains an air of mystery.
