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.
