Experts in the UK successfully recover the face of a priest who died 900 years ago.

A holy grail, a plate of holy bread buried with this man made experts believe he was a priest.
Archeology consultant Archaeology then coordinated with forensic artist Hew Morrison to restore this priest's face.
Without a DNA test, the priest's hair and eye color remained a mystery. During the reconstruction, experts rely on the characteristics of the skull to outline the priest's asymmetrical eyes and swimming chin.
Mr. Morrison said the size of the lips of the man, the width of the mouth is recreated exactly by measuring enamel.
Analysis of the remains shows that the priest was not ill or injured. However, he suffered from degeneration of the lower lumbar disc. This is related to some physical activity and changes due to age.
Apart from this, the priest lived a healthy life.
This is not the first time experts have reconstructed faces thanks to the excavated remains.
In 2018, experts used 3D technology to reconstruct the face of a witch in the 18th century. In 2013, the face of King Richard III of England was also recreated after the king's remains. was found under the parking lot in Leichester in 2012.
