This model of a 6th-century servant girl of Gaya Kingdom (42-562) was constructed based on the bones excavated in Changnyeong, South Gyeongsang Province. The Gaya National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage, which created the model, will show it to the public at the National Palace Museum of Korea, Seoul, from Nov. 25 to 29, and then at Changnyeong Museum, South Gyeongsang Province, from Dec. 1 to 6. / Korea Times

The remains of a 16-year-old girl of the ancient Gaya Kingdom from 1,500 years ago is restored with cutting-edge technology. The Gaya National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, unveiled the restored woman yesterday after excavation of a sixth-century tomb. She is believed to have been a servant of the tomb`s owner and buried alive with the dead. She is presumed to have been 153.5 centimeters tall with a slender body. The display will run at the National Palace Museum of Korea in Seoul until Nov. 29.

I hope I’m that well preserved when I’m 1,500 years old.

engaged in the repetitious task of cutting something with her teeth

Like, what? I do lots of repetitious tasks, and I've even done some historical reenactment of repetitious tasks we now have machines for ... but cutting something with her teeth?

She looks good for her age. :)

Thank you - what a fascinating article. Do you know of more work like this being done on other ancient cultures?

Interesting post.

I do find it a bit weird that somehow a 1,600 year old 16 year old Korean girl would not look like a 16 year Korean school girl today except for the clothes and upgraded cell phone
