An artist has reconstructed the face of Egyptian queen Tiye, who was the maternal grandmother of Tutankhamun. The reconstruction utilized the 3,400-year-old mummified remains of the queen, as reported by DailyMail.

In the image of the mummy, facial features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth were added, along with hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and even freckles. The result is a beautiful woman with dark, curly hair, large brown eyes, a heart-shaped mouth, and a dusky complexion.

Queen Tiye was the Great Wife of Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled from 1390 to 1353 B.C. She became the mother of Amenhotep IV and remained a significant figure in the Egyptian royal family even after her son ascended to the throne.

Amenhotep IV was the father of Tutankhamun, also known as the boy king, who ruled from 1332 to 1323 B.C. He ascended to the throne at the tender age of just 8 years.

The mummy of Queen Tiye was discovered in 1898 in the tomb of Amenhotep II in the Valley of the Kings, but her identity was only confirmed in 2010 through DNA analysis.

In a video published by the artist, the images of the ancient Egyptian queen's remains are transformed and literally come to life. The video begins with the placement of eyes into the empty eye sockets of the mummy, followed by the addition of skin around the eyelids, and then a nose that matches the remaining bone.

The "revived" mummy was also given curly chestnut hair.

The reconstruction included the mummified arm of the queen, which rested on her chest. Skin and nails appeared on the fingers of the arm.

It is known that Queen Tiye was the daughter of Yuya, the commander of the Egyptian chariot, and a woman named Tuya. Although she was not of royal blood, the pharaoh favored Tiye among his many wives and even involved her in state affairs.

In some official documents, her name even appeared alongside the pharaoh's name.

As a reminder, an artist used AI to reconstruct the face of the Virgin Mary. A Mexican artist demonstrated what the Virgin Mary looked like before the birth of Jesus Christ.
