The Arzhan-2 burial of the Scythian ‘King’ and the ‘Queen’, found in 1997 and studied between 2001-2003 by Russian-German expedition is one the most extraordinary discoveries ever made by archeologists.
Now for the first time the features of the powerful couple buried in their gold-encrusted, awe-inspiring clothing can be seen in life-like sculptures thanks to work of Moscow Miklukho-Maklai Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology, and Novosibirsk Institute of Archeology and Ethnography.
Two teams of anthropologists spent months meticulously building 3d models of the skulls, using laser scanning and photogrammetry to then re-create the faces of the people that ruled vast sways of steppes and mountains at the time when the Great Pyramids were getting built in Egypt.

Probably covered this already?
Why do these reconstructions never make them smiling?
Did they know that some day, joe biden would be president?
Beer hadn’t been yet discovered.
Ha! Good question.

She looks pissed. As though he just said “No, I’m not buying another gold plated fingerbowl. You already have seven of them!”

Beer hadn’t been yet discovered.

Wrong. Egyptians had beer.
In some ancient societies, if the King died, that meant his wife was buried with him, ready or not. I think some Viking cultures did this. Not sure about Siberia.
Wine was better for Date Night!
Have they ever tested this facial reconstruction on people that we know have been photographed?
Yes, Egyptians had beer.
Siberians never visited Egypt.
Would this be Nimrod and Semiramis?
She looks Asian, strongly reminding me of a Vietnamese girl I knew in college. On the other hand he looks much more European.
I stand corrected.
However, beer has been around for close to 5,000 years so it is quite possible Siberians also had access to beer.
Actually, beer remnants were found at Gobekli Tepe 8,000 to 10,000 B.C.
I can’t stop laughing at your comment. Thank you!

These people are sexist!! King? Queen? Maybe the King thought himself as the Queen and the Queen thought herself as the King? Maybe the King was one of the other 56 genders..😀. We shouldn’t assume...😀
Maybe they had to deal with a fake news media...😀
