The face of the young Rameses II was then constructed after the older figure was constructed first.
We first took a detailed CT scan of the skull, which helped us to create a 3D model of the skull, which was then converted to a facial image with the help of a computer.
Caroline Wilkinson, director of the Face Lab at Liverpool John Moores University, explains, "We did a step-by-step build, from the skull to the facial muscles and fat.
This is the second time researchers have successfully created a face from a skull.
Caroline Wilkinson added that the face of Tutankhamun was discovered from the skull by the scientific world. Such efforts can give the mummies a more human form.
The writings about Ramesses II and clues from his mummy helped the researchers for this.
Ramesses II is the ruler who ruled Egypt for 66 years. Ramesses also owns the name of the king who made the first treaty in the world. CT scan technology from the skulls of living people.
