[QUOTE]Originally posted by Marcus: [QB] [QUOTE]On the Tut reconstruction, I agree that the busts of King Tut were closer to reality than the reconstructions. Tut's skull was so badly damaged that the artists who conducted the reconstruction surveyed the faces of several Egyptian men from Luxor in order to fill in some of the gaps. Therefore, we know what he MAY have looked like but we can't say it is 100% accurate.[/QUOTE] I don't think it's even remotely accurate, for the reason you stated, and also because there is A LOT of guesswork involved regardless - especially in facial reconstructions from skeletal remains from thousands of years ago. The thickness of the skin and the shape of the eyes, lips, nose and mouth, etc. were all based on the faces of a select few men from the Luxor area.
