The mummy was taken to Cornwall in the 19th century and legally checked by surgeon Stephen Lovehammick, of the Royal Navy Institute in 1828.

The mummy was taken to the Royal Cornwall Hospital to capture the skull. Based on these data, experts from the Royal Institute of British Art will create skull shapes like modern people.

Then it continued to be moved to Manchester. Here two medical artists will use thin neurons and anatomical algorithms to create faces for this mummy.

The final product is an ancient Egyptian resin face that will soon be on display at the British Royal Museum.
