Employees of the Parabon NanoLabs laboratory were able to create 3D models of the appearance of three Egyptians, based on the DNA of mummies, writes Success in UA.
For this, a special technology was used - forensic DNA phenotyping, it is reported portaltele.com.ua.
It turned out that all three had dark hair, brown eyes and light brown skin. At the same time, they were genetically closer to those who live in the Mediterranean and Middle East today, and not to the Egyptians themselves. These mummies were found by scientists in the city of Abusire el-Melek.
We will remind that scientists from Cairo have successfully recreated the appearance of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep I, who lived about 3500 years ago.
