[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb] I vote for the reconstruction done by the British Science Museum :D : [IMG]http://www.allempires.com/forum/uploads/33193/final_digital_face_CIP.jpg[/IMG] http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/antenna/tutankhamun/index.asp [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually the above reconstruction was commisioned by British scientists but was actually done by [b]U.S.[/b] scientists who were double-blinded (they had no idea whose skull cast they were working with). Their results were then aired on the 2005 Discovery Channel program 'Who Killed King Tut'. What makes the above reconstruction unique is that I believe it was the ONLY one done by scientists who were double-blinded and therefore unbiased. Their conclusions were that the skull belonged to someone of African descent though I still think they were biased in that they gave him a wider nose tip under the stereotype that Africans have wide noses. You can see more of their methods here: [URL=http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/antenna/tutankhamun/]Tutankhamun: beneath the mask[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
