Face of King Tut’s grandmother is reconstructed using her 3,400-year-old remains

A pH๏τoshop artist has reconstructed the face of Queen Tiye, the grandmother of King Tut, using her 3,400-year-old mummified remains.

The artist used the technology to overlay features such as eyes, a nose and mouth onto the image, fitting them into her remarkably-preserved bone structure.

They then added hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and even freckles, bringing the corpse’s face to life.

The final result was a beautiful woman with dark, flowing hair, large brown eyes, a heart-shaped mouth and dark complexion.

Queen Tiye was the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh AmenH๏τep III, who reigned from 1390–53 BCE, and lived from 1398 BC until 1338BC.

She was the mother of AmenH๏τep IV, also known as Akhenaten, and remained a prominent figure of Egyptian royalty even after he ascended the throne.

Akhenaton went on to father Tutankhamun, or King Tut, the boy king who ruled from 1332 to 1323 BC.

He became Pharaoh when he was just eight or nine years old, and is famous today because his is the most intact royal Egyptian tomb ever found.

Queen Tiye’s mummy was discovered in 1898 in the tomb of AmenH๏τep II in the Valley of the Kings, but DNA analysis confirmed her idenтιтy until 2010.
