The face of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh—Ramesses II—has been brought back to life by scientists in the U.K. from his mummified remains. Researchers from the Liverpool John Moores University Face Lab were able to reconstruct the bygone ruler's face using computer software and a process of "reverse aging" to find out what he would have looked like in his prime.

"The facial reconstruction process depicts the face at death, as the skull and face continue to change throughout adult life," Caroline Wilkinson, the director of the Face Lab, told Newsweek. "However, we know how skulls and faces age, and it is possible to predict how a person looked at a younger age by removing some of the skeletal and soft tissue changes associated with old age, such as wrinkles, drooping nose and ears, jowls, tooth loss."
