The process produced virtual slices just 0.39 mm (about 0.02 in.) thick - "much more detailed than the ones made of King Tut's mummy," says Owsley. The slices were then digitally recombined into 3-D computer images that were used to make exact copies out of plastic. The replica of the skull has already enabled scientists to clear up a popular misconception that dates back to the initial reports of the discovery. (See TIME's science and technology covers...
