When we look back at our history, we may see that there are significant figures about whom we know little. To be sure, we have paintings, sculptures, and portraits that depict famous historical figures. But, in the first place, how accurate are they? The truth is that these objects were commissioned in order to impress people, thus our assessment of them may be a little skewed. The use of modern technologies such as computer-generated imagery (CGI) and 3D printing allows for the accurate recreation of the appearance of some famous historical characters. It is a historical marvel that when we look into the eyes of Cleopatra and Queen Elizabeth I, they may actually look back at us. Expect your mind to be blown because they are great!
King Tut
King Tutankhamun, often known as the “Lion of the Nile,” governed Egypt from 1332 to 1323 BC. He was only in power for ten years before dying. The Carter Tomb was found by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922 and is now known as the tomb of this New Kingdom pharaoh. It had apparently been sealed for almost 3,200 years before being discovered! In the tomb, a vast number of artifacts and treasures were unearthed, all of which were meant to accompany him to the hereafter.
