      because the software uses faces of people today to generate closest looking face. It's not really how she looked but close. Btw I've lived across the world and I've seen those faces everywhere starting from where I was born to where I live now.

    This is very well done. It humanizes these famous historical figures. Also, in your renderings, Cleopatra is indeed beautiful, she just isn't "baby faced" Elizabeth Taylor. She has strong cheekbones, and a large nose, to populations where people have such facial traits, she is a beauty. Well done!

This is very important to be true to the Egyptians. The sculptures of the man Ptolemy show how stunningly handsome he was. You depicted him with such good looking facial features. He was a good looking man. You did a very authentically close and beautiful depiction of Cleopatra. Thank you for keeping the integrity of Cleopatra by using the facial features depicted in stone. You are a blessing to authenticity in the world. These are fabulous and authentic portrayals as best as you could, you did a great job.

      @@ptolemyglenn79 Keep in mind that you are not Ptolemy. You might be psychotic if you think you are Ptolemy. Here is some information about him. Ptolemy, Latin in full Claudius Ptolemaeus, (born c. 100 CE-died c. 170 CE), an Egyptian astronomer, mathematician, and geographer of Greek descent who flourished in Alexandria during the 2nd century CE. In several fields his writings represent the culminating achievement of Greco-Roman science, particularly his geocentric (Earth-centred) model of the universe now known as the Ptolemaic system.
      Virtually nothing is known about Ptolemy’s life except what can be inferred from his writings. His first major astronomical work, the Almagest, was completed about 150 CE and contains reports of astronomical observations that Ptolemy had made over the preceding quarter of a century. The size and content of his subsequent literary production suggests that he lived until about 170 CE.

      I believe the intent is to make the reconstructions accessible to modern eyes--- surprisingly accessible. Most ancient hairstyles are grossly artificial and contrived--- distracting from the real person. Ancient coifs were also often merely wigs. In any event, even ancient women had to let their hair down sometimes. These reconstructions are therefore intimate portraits.

      @@MalteseKat I disagree because the reconstructions tend to be closer to the ancient busts and indeed gives them life . Some imagination on the part of the artist is still needed however, eg for the color of the eyes. I think the artist is also following facial descriptions from the primary literature as well, and he has combined them with sculptural busts. Hence in my visual opinion they do look more Greco- Roman and of the era to which they belong; than looking anglican. Also, from the literary sources and the numerous busts and frescos we do have from that material culture ,we sure do have a very good idea of how the ancient greeks and Romans looked.The artist is doing is best and at most times he is uncannily on point.

    Thank you for your great work of bringing to life those whose appearances have only existed in the creative centers of our minds. I have always had the feeling that Alexander the Great, whom they say was poisoned, was in fact eliminated by Ptolemy, his general, because when we see how Ptolemy took over and became the king, it looks like it was planned. I have heard that the story of Alexander’s exploits was only put to paper some 400 years after he lived, so what really happened we will never know. It’s just fantastic to see the sculptures-I am a sculptor---brought to life. Each sculptor of course sculpted his or her subjects with his or her own interpretation, so we can only have a global idea of what they must have looked like. But again, thanks to your work, we get a glimpse into our past and what a surprise to see that the greatest of all our past heroes were mostly in their prime, in their twenties and thirties.
