In the present study, following the lines of previous research by our group featuring other Ancient Egyptian characters (Moraes et al., 2023;Moraes, Beaini, et al., 2024;, we offer a novel facial approximation of this distinguished ruler of Ancient Egypt, together with a review and discussion of the bioarcheological aspects of his embalmed body. images were aligned so that the anatomical structures corresponded ( Figure 1A). ...
This article offers for the first time a facial approximation of the Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep III (reigned ca. 1388–1351 BC) based on photographic material of his mortal remains and anthropometric data collected at the time, and by adopting a novel technique previously used in similar research by our team. A comprehensive discussion of the mummy attributed to Pharaoh Amenhotep III is also annexed to the study, focusing on the bioarcheological and embalming aspects.

... ○ A er: The author tried to talk directly to Dr. Petr Kvetina, who despite the author being polite decided to block him on Facebook, in addition to not accepting invitations for a public debate on the topic. The author help to refuted the points in a letter available on the Archbishopric of Prague 4 website, mainly the issue related to the publication of material in an academic journal and later published an article in the journal Digital Applications in Archeology and Cultural Heritage [Moraes et al. 2023] detailing the issue with updated techniques. Later, articles appeared in the Czech media showing the result of the debate and how the tools used were robust, being used in the medical field 5 6 . ...
... ○ A er: The author composed a technical response 7 showing that footage of the remains is made by tourists freely and widely available on YouTube and that, even without data from the captures made by the other author of the material, it would be possible to reconstruct the skull just with the data present in the studies cited in the chapter composed by the author [Moraes & Santos, 2023] and which the Ministry had clearly not accessed, even though it was available in a significant part of the materials addressing the approximation. Some websites published the author's response to the Ministry 8 and some time later the author published another study [Moraes et al., 2023b], proving that it is possible to reconstruct a skull just with data contained in articles, some media (like Arab News 9 10 ) that had replicated the Ministry's notes, published the results of the new study that told with technical praise from one of the greatest (if not the greatest) Egyptologists today 11 . ...
... This has led to differing opinions and sometimes multiple interpretations and depictions of the same individual. For example, there are approximately eight published facial depictions of Tutankhamun produced by a range of practitioners using different materials and methods, including three depictions produced simultaneously by teams from Egypt, USA and France (Hawass, 2005a), a BBC documentary version depicting pathological conditions (Tutankhamun: The Truth Uncovered, 2014), a 3D clay model based on the CT scan by a team from Egypt and Canada featured in PBS documentary (Allies and Enemies, 2022), and a recent digital 3D facial depiction (Moraes et al., 2023). The differences between these facial depictions may be a result of variation in methodology, clinical imaging, diagnostic interpretation and potential confirmation bias (Wilkinson, 2020). ...

Sic semper tyrannis. Charlotte Corday ersticht Jean Paul Marat. Die tödlichen Attentate auf Präsidenten der USA. Das Politische Attentat in der Kunst (Band 4) Der vierte Band befasst sich mit berühmten Attentaten der Neuzeit. Die Tötung des französischen Revolutionärs Jean Paul Marat durch Charlotte Corday hat eine bis ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein dauernde Verarbeitung in der Kunst ausgelöst. Je nach vorherrschender politischer Stimmung und persönlicher Präferenz wird Marat als Opfer oder Corday als Heldin stilisiert, nur um kurz danach erneut neu bewertet zu werden. Die tödlichen Attentate auf bislang vier amerikanische Präsidenten beleuchten den Umgang der Neuzeit mit diesen einschneidenden Ereignissen. Sie schufen neue Bilder, welche in die Kunst der Gesellschaft eingegangen sind: So die berühmte Phrase Sic semper tyrannis, die erst beim Mord an Lincoln ausgerufen wurde, und das Entstehen einer ganzen Verschwörungstheorie-Industrie nach dem Attentat auf Präsident John F. Kennedy. Dies, weil die offiziellen Erklärungen krass unglaubwürdig erscheinen. Trigger-Warnung: Das Buch enthält forensische Photographien, welche Leser/innen verstören können

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) is considered as one of the greatest composers of the Classical Period of music (ca. 1750–1820). Gifted with an unparalleled precocity, which allowed him to play and compose at the highest levels from a very young age, he continued his studies until the end of his life. Despite his prominent status, he was buried in a collective grave and years later his skull was supposedly recovered, reaching the present day surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery and controversy. This study, using a free, open-source, multiplatform software and the available published material, independently seeks to approximate the face of this skull and compare it with previous publications and portraits painted during the composer’s lifetime.
