Revealing the Face of Tutankhamun: Digital Reconstruction Unveils the Boy Pharaoh

The video showcases a unique show where international scientists use cutting-edge digital technology to reconstruct the face of the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun. This is the first time such technology has been used for this purpose. The process involved creating a 3D map of the skull from X-rays and comparing it with facial structures of volunteers. Collaborative efforts from experts in New Zealand and the UK added flesh tones and created physical casts. Scientists are confident that the replica closely resembles the young pharaoh.
