Old news is old (and already been posted).

Like i said in the other thread, this "reconstruction" it's poor an all accounts, from it's degree of accuracy (apparently some people seem to think 18th century portrait painters were incapable of capturing the liking of their subjects), the the horrendous rendering (i've seen works by mere teenagers display a far superior degree of expertise).

Not surprising considering the sorry state of modern education. Those "researchers" wouldn't have never gotten a passing grade a mere 30 years ago.
