We have always been very curious about the question, that is, what did the ancients look like? Although I often watch various costume TV series, after all, it is played by modern people, and some unreliable crews can't even match the costumes of the dynasty, let alone others. Therefore, whether the ancients were beautiful or ugly, and what is the difference between them and modern people, has always been what we want to know.
To this end, experts have also been making unremitting efforts to try to restore the real appearance of the ancients, and achieved certain results. At the beginning, experts used high technology to restore the appearance of the ancient corpses excavated from the ancient tombs, and presented the appearance of some ancients in front of us, including the restoration of the beautiful women of the ancient Loulan corpse, the restoration of the generation of Heroes Cao Cao, and the restoration of mrs. Xin Chai in the Mawangdui Han Tomb.

However, experts are obviously not satisfied with this, especially after the emergence of 3D printing technology, it has begun to be applied in various fields. At this time, some people asked, can we restore the appearance of the ancients through this technology? The answer, of course, is yes.

As the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, Xi'an is an important area of Chinese archaeology, and countless cultural relics have been unearthed, including the bones of ancients. Not long ago, researchers at Northwest University inferred the age range of the ancients at the time of death through carbon-14 identification and anthropological analysis of the skulls of the ancients, and then extracted the corresponding soft tissue thickness data from the modern human craniofacial database, based on which the 3D printing technology was used to restore the appearance of the ancients.
After the efforts of scientific researchers, the long-awaited appearance of the ancients finally appeared in front of us. Experts show us the appearance of Li Yuan, the fifth-generation granddaughter of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, a princess of the Tang Dynasty. Li Qian's tomb was discovered in 2001 on the campus of Xi'an University of Technology's Qujiang Campus, and many precious cultural relics were unearthed, including an intact crown, which is extremely valuable, and experts have restored the image of Princess Li wearing a crown.
At the same time, there is also a male head of the Qin Dynasty, a proper handsome man. I have to say that the appearance of the ancients is still very standard, and most importantly, it is all plain. Dear officials, what do you think about this?
