Facial features were reproduced on the basis of well-preserved bone structure.
A digital artist has recreated the likeness of Queen Tia, Tutankhamun's grandmother, using her 3,400-year-old mummified remains.
This was reported by the Daily Mail.
Thanks to modern technologies, facial features were superimposed on her well-preserved bone structure: eyes, nose, mouth, as well as hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and even freckles, which brought the image to life.
Queen Tia was the Great Royal Consort of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and the mother of Amenhotep IV, known as Akhenaten. Her son, Akhenaten, became the father of Tutankhamun.
