Although the pharaoh died aged 90, which is quite the age for someone living 3,200+ years ago, using his mummified remains experts have reconstructed his face both in his prime – aged 45 – as well as in his old age.
The images show the pharaoh as the man, no headdress, jewellery or make-up and I've tried to mock up how he would have looked in full royal regalia.
