A group of Brazilian experts managed to build digital image landmarks to reveal the face of an Egyptian man who lived 35,000 years ago.
Brazilian scientists were able to build that image through what was found of the remains of the bones of the man found at the “Nazlat Khater” archaeological site in Egypt.
According to the results of the analyzes, these bone remains belong to a man of African descent, whose age ranged between 17 and 29 years at the time of his death, with a height of approximately 160 centimeters.
“Several years ago, we were already working on a series of approximations related to human evolution,” archaeologist Moasir Elias Santos told CNN.
He added, explaining that this was done “using replicas of the most famous fossils.”
He continued, “The video clips were converted into images, and used to develop imaging scans of the skull, which constituted the study.”
Photogrammetry is the process of extracting three-dimensional information from images, and this process has been used by experts to determine how humans have evolved over centuries.
