RELATED STORIES
French forensic anthropologist Jean-Noël Vignal's "skull map" was used to make this silicone-skinned reconstruction of Tut's face. The sculptor is one of the world’s leading anthropological artists, Elisabeth Daynès of Paris. She also worked with archaeological information supplied by Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities—two wooden sculptures made of Tut during his youth.
