Paris-based forensic sculptor Elisabeth Daynès then created the bust shown above. She used Vignal's estimates of skin thickness and other data, plus wooden sculptures of Tut made in his youth. Soft-tissue features, such as the nose and ears, had to be guessed at, though within a scientifically determined range.
Daynès based the skin tone on an average shade of Egyptians today and added the eyeliner that the king would have worn in life.įinally, National Geographic gave the CT data to a U.S.
