They recreated his face from a skull found in Greece.
This is the face of a girl who lived 9,000 years ago.
Theopetra Cave is an invaluable archaeological site located near the city of Thessaly in Greece. And it was there where, in 1993, the skull of a teenager who lived approximately seven thousand years before Christ appeared. Initially, it was believed that he died at the age of fifteen, although it is now known that he was actually eighteen when he died. The researchers named it Avgi in Greek, which can be translated as Dawn. The reason was that, according to scientists, this young woman lived in what could be considered "the dawn of humanity", in the transition period from nomadic or tribal life, to one based on more stable and complex societies.
Now, a team from the University of Athens has used the most modern facial reconstruction technologies to recreate the face of this young woman, based on her skull. And the result is really amazing, since she almost looks like the protagonist of a photo taken yesterday.
The authors of reconstruction explain that women's facial features are very marked and hard, that they have some masculine features. And they express their opinion by stating that this is a characteristic that has softened over the course of so many centuries and that nowadays, all of us, both women and men, have mainly softer, somewhat more feminine features.
