Cambridge University boffins recreate Pharaoh's face Is this what the legendary Cleopatra really looked like?
Dark hair and eyes like saucers - is this is what the legendary Pharaoh Cleopatra actually looked like?
Researchers at Cambridge University have recreated the face of the Egyptian leader, who reigned from 69-30 BC, on a computer. The boffins based their model on 2,000-year-old drawings and images on coins.
Her skin was darker than modern portrayals of her, most famously by Hollywood actress Liz Taylor in the film 'Cleopatra' (1963), because of her Egyptian heritage.
But now we can finally see exactly what she looked like!
