An 18-year-old girl who lived in Greece 7,000 years ago and was unearthed by archaeologists in Theopetra cave, near the city of Trikala, has had her face reconstructed and is about to officially introduce herself to the public... Dawn (Avgi in Greek) is a woman from the Mesolithic era (7,000 BC) who lived in the Theopetra cave, according to Athens University professor Manolis Papagrigorakis; who has invested a great deal of time and learning in order to bring Greeks “face to face” with their ancestors...

Papagrigorakis' team is also working on the reconstruction of the skull of a girl from Feres in Magnesia prefecture who was about 5.5 years old when she died in the 5th century BC. Her remains were discovered at an unlooted marble tomb, and she has been named Idyle. Finally, another of the team's projects includes the reconstruction of a "microbial map" of Classical-era Greece.

"Neolithic" means "New Stone Age", roughly from the end of the last ice age to around 2,000 BC in Northern Europe. Greece in the 5th century BC was an advanced Iron Age culture at its height. Whoever came up with the title is a moron.

I think we misjudge how wise they were and how much they understood,

Yeah, and an overwhelming majority of them even knew the difference between a boy and a girl.

She looks like one of their neanderthal depictions. Are they one trick ponies?

No, you just read at a very low level.

Admittedly read the excerpt too quickly. First girl and photo, Neolithic it is.

It must be the 19th in Greece by now, I hope there’s a photo of the new work, before this topic gets burned to the ground by an angry mob.

This story is rather confusing regarding the heads. Myrtis shown here was from the 5th century BC near Athens, and age was not given. They are working on an 18 year old who died 5 millenia BC or 7,000 YA. Her name is Dawn and her face has NOT YET been introduced to the public. A third girl from Magnesia also from 5th century BC and about 5.5 years old is mentioned but not pictured. Others, no details given, are also in the works. Look forward to future articles.

“I think that the modern human “intelligentsia” have generally UNDERestimated the intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, of ancient peoples.”

I think you have something there. IMO, modern “intelligentsia” is tripping over their own arrogance.

I agree with that. Having had some semblance of a "classical education", I have always given the ancients great credit for wisdom and intelligence. My education and work as an engineer leads me to great admiration for them as well. Modern marxist education rejects all of this.

What you see is actually a sculpture, a clay model, sculpted upon a real skull.
