King Tutankhamun
King Tutankhamun is a famous Egyptian Pharoh who was the last of the royal family to rule during the end of the 18th dynasty. The photo on the left obviously isn’t an actual portrait done during Egyptian times, but it is a realistic recreation of his appearance created by forensic artist Elisabeth Daynes. The updated photo gives him a fuller head of hair, removes the classic Egyptian makeup, and gives him the appearance of an average Joe. It’s an interesting depiction because he seriously looks like someone you would run into at your local mall. Has royalty always looked so similar to us and just been portrayed to be more extravagant?
