A beautiful, intelligent and ambitious woman and her vivid "love affair" are the best subjects in Hollywood. In just a few decades, Cleopatra's story has been put on the screen several times. In 2009, her love and hate were still the favorite treasures of film and television creators. Recently, steven soderbergh, a talented Hollywood director, said that he would reproduce this history 2,000 years ago in the form of a musical epic. His candidate for Cleopatra is actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. In his mind, she is as mysterious and sexy as "Cleopatra" Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor and sophia loren, "just like a gorgeous flower in the dark, fragrant and charming".
But some British scientists opposed him. They said that they just used computer imaging technology to analyze and piece together the image fragments on ancient cultural relics, and restored the 3d head portrait closest to the original appearance of Cleopatra. However, this "Cleopatra's original appearance" is somewhat disappointing, which is far from the legendary enchanting beauty. Especially the dark brown skin color has shattered people's image of a delicate and white western beauty with fat limbs.
Cleopatra is not charming.
However, Egyptians are not very interested in the research of British scholars. In their view, the "British" bothered to restore the portrait of Cleopatra, but they just wanted to sell more newspapers.
