Face of Tehran’s 7 millennia old woman reconstructed
Mehr News Agency ^ | June 17, 2015 | unattributed

Posted on 06/17/2015 10:05:07 PM PDT by SunkenCiv

In November 2014, Mahsa Vahabi, an Archeology student serendipitously discovered in the dug soil in Mowlavi St., of Tehran Water and Wastewater Company some pottery.

Her discovery of simple earthen material drew attentions from her fellow archeologist and a study team addressed the place on Mowlavi St. Further excavations uncovered from under the soil bones and skeleton, reportedly and supposedly belonging to a women from 7,000 years ago.

Soon archeology researchers carried out research to find out more about its characteristics. A 3D documentation method was carried out on the skeleton by Mohammad Reza Rokni, an expert in Archeology Research Center.

He told Mehr News that to develop a 3D documentation, “we used whole parts of the skeleton and the principle of symmetry of human skeleton to reconstruct the missing parts or parts which are unfit for the reconstruction.”

...Rokni also commented on the way the hairs of the woman was reconstructed; “since we had no trace of the hairs, choosing a color for hair was a matter of taste; in doing so, we drew upon the signs in pottery found in Cheshmeh Ali; five strong and standard modeling software versions helped us synchronize and corrected,” he told Mehr News.

He claimed that the finished reconstructed face would be 95 per cent accurate compared with the original face of woman last seen 7,000 years ago.

I’m surprised they didn’t include a burqa or some other covering. /snark

That looks like a lady from Syria that was in my office the last few years.

A Christian lady, who has lived outside Syria, all of her adult life, first in London and then in California.

Why is she here? Is she paying her own way? Is she producing anything of value to earn her keep?

;’) The ‘reconstruction’ is so cartoonlike as to be a bit of a snicker, probably as a consequence of the mullahcratic thugs who run the joint.

Here is archaeologists' best guess at what Kennewick Man looked like:

He expired along the Columbia River near Kennewick, Washington about 9,000 years ago.

What's interesting about him is that he doesn't look much like the "Native American" types who attempted to block research into his origins. Rather, he resembles the Ainu, an indigenous tribe of Japan, who mysteriously do not resemble East Asians.

Here is an intermediate stage in the archaeologists' reconstruction, before they added hair:

He's looking ready to audition for the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, 2305-????.

Since it was pre-Islamic and not wearing a burqa, it will be destroyed by hammers, bombs and stoning.

I don't know about Syrian, but I do know a couple of Lebanese Christian ladies whom your typical CFA would target as "high net worth individuals". (For those of you in Rio Linda, that means, too rich to live where you live.)
