Behold, a King!

Guided by CT scans and forensic anthropologist Jean-Noël Vignal, sculptor Elisabeth Daynès reconstructed the image of the young Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. Tut's features turned out to be predominantly Caucasoid, contrary to some scholars' opinion that ancient Egyptians were black Africans. Since we may never know his skin color, the artist's solution was to model the color on modern Egyptian skin tones, which vary widely.

ZOOM IN on more images from "King Tut."
