Using photogrammetry, researchers created two facial approximations of an ancient Egyptian man.
A lifelike facial approximation of a man who lived 30,000 years ago in what is now Egypt may offer clues about human evolution.
"The skeleton has most of the bones preserved, although there have been some losses, such as the absence of ribs, hands, [the] middle-inferior part of the right tibia [shin bone] and [the] lower part of the left tibia, as well as the feet," first author Moacir Elias Santos , an archaeologist with the Ciro Flamarion Cardoso Archaeology Museum in Brazil, told Live Science in an email."But the main structure for facial approximation, the skull, was well preserved.
By digitally stitching together the images in a process known as photogrammetry, the researchers created two virtual 3D models of the man. The first was a black-and-white image with his eyes closed in a neutral state, and the second was a more artistic approach featuring a young man with tousled dark hair and a trimmed beard.
