When we look back at our history, we may see that there are significant figures about whom we know very little. To be sure, we have access to artworks depicting beloved historical figures, such as paintings, sculptures, and portraits. But, in the first place, how accurate are they? The truth is that these objects were commissioned in order to impress people, thus our assessment of them may be little skewed. Modern technology, such as computer-generated imagery (CGI) and 3D printing, allows us to recreate the authentic appearances of some historical figures. It is a historical marvel that when we look into the eyes of Cleopatra and Queen Elizabeth I, they may actually look back at us. Expect your mind to be blown because they are great!
King Tut
King Tutankhamun, often known as the “Lion of the Nile.” reigned Egypt from 1332 to 1323 BC. He ruled for only eleven years before going away. In 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered this New Kingdom pharaoh’s tomb, which is now known as the Carter Tomb. It had apparently been sealed for nearly 3,200 years before it was discovered! In the tomb, a vast quantity of artifacts and treasures were uncovered, objects intended to accompany him to the hereafter.
