The mummified remains of ancient Egypt's most powerful pharaoh have been used to reveal what he would have looked like at the height of his powers.
Ramessess II's "handsome" face can be seen for the first time in 3,200 years thanks to the new scientific reconstruction.
Using a 3D model of his skull to rebuild his features, scientists from Egypt and England initially worked together to create the pharaoh’s likeness when he died around 90 years old.

It looks like he has a little bit of a Hapsburg thing going on.

The Pharaohs were even more heavily inbred than the Hapsburgs.
The H’s at least at worst married first cousins. The Pharaohs married their full-blood sisters...

He took after his dad, not his mummy.

Their “gods” siblings married each other, so they followed suit.
That said, the inbreeding explains why the Pharoah of Exodus didn’t catch a clue. He was a moron.

Some of the Hapsburg marriages were uncle-niece.

I guess everyone I know is either a “10” or an “11,” if that man is “handsome.” I am, of course a “12.”

What they didn’t say, is Ramses shared his tomb with another pharoah.
The other pharaoh was found wrapped in gold, stuffed with wafers, hazelnuts, and cocoa.
They’re still not sure who the mysterious pharaoh is, but they believe him to be Pharaoh Rocher.

RE mummy in the glass case:
I always marveled at how Egypt treated their ‘indigenous’ population in death. /s
