I wonder if she'll be Caucasian like King Tut?

I was told by two different psychics that I was an Egyptian in a previous life. Who knows maybe this is me? In that case, like Tut, this mummy is Caucasian.

"""Scientists may soon get glimpse of mummy's face."""

Boy, I sure wish I had a job like that.

But then I would be afraid, VERY afraid, that, with MY luck, some smart alec would challenge me to recreate the face of ... say ... one of his relatives who has only been been pushing up the daisies for half a century and whose picture is still hanging on his wall. Just to see how good I really am.

Don't those scientists have any shame?

"""Don't those scientists have any shame?"""


What I am trying to say here is that I don't trust those scientists as far as I can throw them, because if they WERE any good at their craft they would surely try to prove their mettle by first recreating a known face.

Am I right or am I right?

I've seen that experiment before. It's sometimes done on modern day bodies of unknown victims. I saw one case where the relatives identified their relative from the reconstructed face of a decomposed victim. I believe it's reasonable accurate.

A picture is worth a thousand words. These scientists know this, and if they could reproduce a face that matched the picture, they'd be rich & famous.

But because they can't, they are trying to sell us a pig in a poke. And if you asked them to match a corpse with the picture for a hundred million dollars they wouldn't dare to try because they know that the odds of them comming even close would be astronomical.

BUMS, THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE!!

And you can take that to the bank.

I don't agree with you. Take blam's example, I saw that show, or at least one similar, and was amazed by how close the likeness came to the young woman in question.

Of course, the likeness can only be as good as the artist doing the reproduction. Each artist brings with him/her there own interpretations of calculations, images and facts. I think that those doing the work are honest. Why wouldn't they be?
