TL;DR

Researchers have digitally reconstructed the face of the Zlatý kůň woman, whose 45,000-year-old remains were discovered in a cave system in the Czech Republic in 1950. Using data from CT scans of her reconstructed skull, scientists created an image of a woman with dark, curled hair, light brown skin, and brown eyes. The skull, which is missing several parts, including the nasal bone and left orbit, is under the care of the Department of Anthropology of the National Museum in Prague. The facial reconstruction provides insights into the woman's Neanderthal ancestry and was created using a similar technique as the one used to reconstruct King Tut's face.
