Today, anthropologists, thanks to new technologies, have learned how to restore the face from the skull. Now you can see what famous historical figures looked like (however, not only them). And although it is difficult to judge the degree to which the reconstruction results correspond to the true appearance of people from the past, it is always interesting to look at these works.
