A team of facial recognition experts used the old data to create an image of him. For this the bone fragments found in the tomb were reconstructed. The report states that a 3D printer was used to sculpt the woman’s face. The Nabataeans were part of an ancient civilization that inhabited northern Arabia over 2,000 years ago. The report states that Petra was the capital of their kingdom, which became a trading center for spices, medicines and cloth. “The Nabateans are a bit of an enigma: we know a lot, but at the same time we know very little,” said Lebanese-French orcologist Laila Nehme, director of the project, in an interview with National Geographic.
