The Egyptian mummy is like ... Michael Jackson
The Redpath Museum (Canada) has successfully recreated the face of 2,000-year-old Egyptian mummies. In it there is a face very similar to the late "King of Pop" M. Jackson.
Thanks to 3D technology, people can look at the shapes of these mummies when they are alive.
By using CT scanners and supporting electronic devices, the team recreated the faces of three mummies with assumptions about why they died.
Three reconstructed mummy faces include a short-haired boy's face, a picky hair-clad woman and an older Egyptian woman who died 2,000 years ago.
The first stage in the reconstruction process is to take the mummy through a CT scanner. Next, the skulls of the mummies are passed through the scanner to analyze the bone structure, thereby helping scientists reconstruct their faces.
Forensic expert Victoria Lywood, John Abbott University is responsible for reshaping the face with data from 3D images, ultrasound images combined with simulation by sketching.
The first mummy is from a young man of small stature, thought to have " a face " of Michael Jackson, between the ages of 20 and 30.
The second mummy is from a woman aged 18-24, belonging to the ancient Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt. Her mummy is found in a stone tomb near Fayum. This mummy's hair is elaborate in the style of ancient Egypt.
The last mummy is an elderly woman, determined to die around 30 - 50 years old, whose face is quite similar to that of modern people. She is a tall, middle-class woman.
