Cleopatra’s Face Reconstructed with 3D CGI

Ancient Egypt expert Sally Ann Ashton has created an estimation of the face and head of Cleopatra in 3D CGI. The rendering is based on a year of research in which facial details were extracted

from walls, coins and other original artifacts and descriptions. It’s additionally based on a guesstimate about her ethnicity, which is presumed by Ashton to be roughly equal parts Greek and Egyptian. The reconstruction will be featured in an upcoming BBC documentary.
