Tutankhamun Facial Reconstruction

2.7.2005 With kind permission of SCA

Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, announced today the results of three independent attempts to reconstruct the face of Egypt's most famous king, Tutankhamun. Dr. Hawass led the effort to see what King Tut, who died over three thousand years ago, might have looked like in life. Under his direction three independent artist-scientist teams, one French, one American, and one Egyptian, used modern forensic techniques to reconstruct Tut's face. Two of these teams were chosen and sponsored by the National Geographic; the third was selected by the SCA. The French and Egyptian teams were told that the subject was Tutankhamun. The American team was not given the subject's identity and was thus working "blind".
