Archaeologists reveal face of Peru's 'Ice Maiden' mummy

The mummy, known as "Juanita" or the "Inca Ice Maiden", was an Inca girl who is thought to have been sacrificed in a ritual more than 500 years ago.
Scientists worked with a specialist in facial reconstruction to build a silicon bust of the mummy.
Johan Reinhard, the US archaeologist who first found the mummy in 1995, said the bust "makes her even more alive".
A team of Peruvian and Polish scientists worked with Oscar Nilsson, a specialist in facial reconstruction from Sweden, to build the silicon bust of the teenage girl.
The scientists said body scans, skull measurements, DNA studies and ethnological characteristics guided their reconstruction.
Mr Nilsson told the Associated Press that it took "about 400 hours of work" to model the face, which has pronounced cheekbones, dark eyes and brown skin.
