Hapsburg chin? or am I in the wrong era of history?
He’s a good looking maligned king.
From being a king to buried under a parking lot....
Hmmmm...
Hey, that’s MY nose!
Um, there's no shortage of medieval portraits of King Richard III that he himself sat for.
I can't help but notice that their 'scientific reconstruction' even got his hat right. Curiously looks just like the hat from all his portraits.
Ugly bugger.
Goofy hat and all.
“And thus I clothe my naked villainy With odd, old ends stol'n out of holy writ, And seem a saint, when most I play the devil. To infinity and beyond!”Feminine mouth.
Say what you want, but the facial reconstruction is just plain cool. I think the 3-D image is much better than the portraits. Plus the fact that it confirm the artists’ works.
I’m thinking Alan Rickman as Severus Snape when I see the Richard face (not just because I’m a Snapefan).
Interesting to read the tweets of the British about this — actors and other famous folk are fascinated by this news!
Looks a little like Ben Affleck.
He almost seems to have Asian epicanthal folds. Any basis i. Reality for that or are we feeling the need for diversity now with facial reconstructions of skeletal remains from the British Isles?
Why don’t they go all in and do him up with scales or feathers and weave a fascinating yarn about how global warming did him in? Seems to work without question in other areas of anthropology.
Nice hat, by the way. What skeletal structure or genetic clue led to such an impressive inclusion?
