"In 2018, Expedition Unknown turned to 3D imaging technology to map out the face of the mummy called "The Younger Lady". Many believed it to be Nefertiti, although this had yet to be confirmed. They scanned the mummy and paleoartist Elisabeth Daynes spent 500 hours recreating the face on the bust, which had been based on historical images of Nefertiti. While the project seemingly confirms that "the Younger Lady" was truly Nefertiti, people debated about her skin color in the image…"
Another ones who took my attention….
Nero
Caesar
Cleopatra

Nefertiti's sculptor knew his business. None of this "Warts and all" nonsense.
"Do I look like that?"
"Yes, Ma'am!" |

I didn't know Caesar was a space alien. |

My oldest looks like Nero. We don't let him near matches. There are contemporary images of all these, except Jesus. I wonder how they came up with his likeness. |

I recall the Jesus one is simply based on what an average person may have looked like in Judea back then. The Caesar one, and possibly the Nero one are based on actual sculptures of these guys so the Caesar one is based on some artist's impression of Caesar which is why it looks so deformed. There are several images of Caesar from antiquity and they tend to show the same basic features but are not otherwise compatible with each other. |

I prefer the "forensic" reconstructions of Caesar, Augustus, Caligula and Nero seen here: cesaresderoma.com |

Nero looks like the big kid who steals your lunch money. |

As for Cleopatra, she was the last of the Ptolemaic dynasty.
This dynasty was as incestuous as Hapsburgs or Targaryens. 
Brother married sister, or cousin for generations. This was standard Egyptian Pharaoh Dynasty practice.
Ptolemy was of Thracian stock, if not actually Alexander's illegitimate half brother.
So, I would expect a far more European look. Maybe even red hair! She wasn't really "beautiful" but certainly had "HUGE … tracts of land."
I prefer Elizabeth Taylor or Joan Collins. And Caesar is even more beady eyed than George Jones, the ‘Possum. |

That Caesaresderoma site is great. There's another site which has all the Emperors but lacks Caesar. He wasn't actually Emperor I know but I still feel he should be included as it was his name that got used by the rest. |

You`d think that Nefertiti would crack a smile in a selfie! |

Nero looks like he has a mild case of downs symdrome
and Nefertiti looks like a female alien from Star Trek
Elanis from Troi sore something like that
