Ancient bones can return a wealth of information to the modern researcher. But they can’t ever truly reveal the dead’s lost humanity. Only when the hollow sockets become the thoughtful eyes of a girl or healed fractures give a knight a handsome scar does time vanish as skeletons turn back into real human beings...#5 The French Mummy
Louis XVI was beheaded in 1793, and King Henry IV of France had his long-dead head removed, as revolutionaries desecrated as many royal tombs as they could find. Rediscovered in a private collection, the skull's face was digitally returned, and to the excitement of researchers, it mirrored known depictions of Henry, a mole and ear piercing included.
The embalming method fits historical records of how Henry's body was prepared, but it obscures the papery mummy's identity. Sure, the face resembles Henry, but the embalming and careless modern handling contaminated the DNA so much that it can no longer be compared with his living descendants.

Florence of Arabia?
Hard drinking left him much more “manly” looking in his later life.

From the Bible, e.g Jesus' sayings in the Gospel of John.
"Before Abraham came to be, I AM."
"The Father and I are One."
Apostle Thomas to the Risen Jesus: "My Lord and My God." (John 20:28)
