Two Brazilian researchers have managed to reconstruct the face of an Egyptian man who lived almost 35,000 years ago using digital imaging techniques , according to the American network ” CNN “:
Archaeologist Mouser Santos and 3D graphic designer Cicério Moraes relied on the skeletal remains of a man found at an archaeological site in Egypt to recreate a digital image. The published image shows a detailed skull face of a man who lived thousands of years ago:
Subsequently, anthropological analysis determined that the skeletal remains belonged to a man of African descent between the ages of 17 and 29 at the time of his death, and the analysis indicated that he was 1.62 meters tall. The Brazilian team used the scanning process, which helps archaeologists reconstruct the facial features of a deceased person from the remains of their skeleton. photogrammetry, which allowed them to extract three-dimensional information from the images of the remains of the man’s skeleton in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. One of the videos released by Moraes:
And last February, scientists managed to reconstruct the human face of a woman who lived during the Nabataean period for the first time in history, according to a statement by the Royal Commission for Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ula governorate. Royal for Al-Ula Governorate managed to reconstruct the face of a woman from the Nabataean civilization that existed in the Arabian Peninsula centuries ago. In this regard, the designer Cicério Moraes told CNN that ” Depending on the skulls of living people, in addition to the work done in the field of forensic medicine, the possibility remains that the image achieved is similar to the original shape” .
Santos and Moraes hope their work will benefit other archaeologists’ research on human evolution. ” The fact that this individual is over 30,000 years old makes him important for understanding human evolution ,” says Santos. Morais pointed out that, with the exception that the jaw of ancient man is stronger than the jaw of modern man today, we are almost completely the same, noting that ” if this man went out walking down the street today, people would he would not notice any difference between him and the others.”
