Face of a man who died 9,500 years ago, brought to life by scientists

The face of a man who died 9,500 years ago in the Middle East has been brought to life by a team of scientists using 3D scans of his skull.
The skull belonged to a man who died – aged over 40 years old – near the city of Jericho, today part of the Palestinian West Bank.
Hoping to preserve the facial features of the dead, the ancients decorated his skull with plaster and gave it shells for eyes.
It was the the ‘first facial reconstruction in the world’ according to Brazilian graphics expert Cicero Moraes.
But now Moraes has rebuilt the dead man’s face using the latest techniques, offering a unique window into the past.
