Scientists reproduce face of Cleopatra

The face of Cleopatra has been digitally reproduced by scientists as shown below.



Scientists gathered historical evidence, including a ring bearing her image, to recreate her face.

Unlike previous recreations of Cleopatra, this likeness is shown in what scientists believe is the true Egyptian skin color. Most other recreations of Cleopatra’s face show her with white skin.

Hard to picture Cleopatra wearing her hair in cornrows. Who knew?
