Meet Ramesses II: Scientists reconstruct the 'handsome' face of ancient Egypt's most POWERFUL pharao

Meet Ramesses II: Scientists reconstruct the 'handsome' face of ancient Egypt's most POWERFUL pharaoh for the first time in 3,200 years

The 'handsome' face of ancient Egypt's most powerful pharaoh, Ramesses II, can be seen for the first time in 3,200 years thanks to a new scientific reconstruction.

Scientists from Egypt and England collaborated to capture the king's likeness at his time of death, using a 3D model of his skull to rebuild his features.

They then reversed the ageing process, turning back the clock almost half a century to reveal his face at the height of his powers.

The result is the first 'scientific facial reconstruction' of the pharaoh based on a CT scan of his actual skull.
