King Tutankhamun’s grandmother’s face has been reconstructed by a Photoshop artist using her 3,400-year-old mummified remains.
Queen Tiye was the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled from 1390 to 1353 BCE. Born in 1398 BCE and passing in 1338 BCE, Tiye played a significant role in the royal court and Egyptian politics.
She was the mother of Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten, and continued to hold a prominent and influential position within Egyptian royalty even after his ascension to the throne.
The artist, known as Photoshop Surgeon, utilised technology to overlay facial features such as eyes, a nose, and a mouth onto the image, aligning them perfectly with her remarkably well-preserved bone structure.
Next, they added details like hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and even freckles, giving the face a lifelike appearance.

The digital artist, known for creating dramatic transformations in images, reimagined what Queen Tiye, the grandmother of King Tutankhamun, might have looked like using a photograph of her mummified remains, reports .
The video showcases the process of digitally reconstructing Queen Tiye’s face using Photoshop.

Long, curly brown hair was added to match her skull’s hairline, while her brow bone was filled with fine strands of hair.
Additional skin was digitally applied to her face, creating a fuller, lifelike appearance that might resemble her look during life.
To enhance the realism, the artist also restored her mummified hand, which rests on her chest. They brought life back to the hand by adding details such as wrinkles around the knuckles and nails at the fingertips, completing the reconstruction with remarkable precision.
