I would like to see the results of three experts in three separate rooms do their reconstruction simultaneously.

Taken separately, the left side and right side are quite attractive. However, when put together, not so much.

Why is the left side of her head twenty years older than the right side?
I mean I know a womans right side doesn’t always match the left side, but this is a bit extreme...

Botox overdose.
Much too much "fat" in that face. That's the problem with reconstruction...you can come up with 100 faces.

Whether or not that is accurate, it is truly amazing. Imagine if she knew many years after she passed on people from the future would be looking at her face from nations across the world! Very interesting. (She'd probably think we were gods with all our technology though).
It reminds me of that old skull that some British artist (the same guy who made an 'artwork' of a shark suspended in a tank of formaldehyde) ...in the skull's case he got an old skull and encrusted its entire surface in diamonds. What if the owner of the skull would have known that he would be fabulously wealthy ....at least in the form of his skull, centuries later, being encrusted in a fiefdom's worth of precious stones. :)
Like a Chinese cookie telling someone they will be fabulously wealthy and literaly draped with gems...but centuries after you are dead and with the gems being affixed to your skull!!!!!
