Hyperrealistic Reconstructions of Ancient Czech Mine Sisters

Researchers have created hyperrealistic 3D reconstructions of two Stone Age sisters who lived over 6,000 years ago in the Czech Republic, based on analysis of their remains found in a prehistoric chert mine. The sisters, who worked in heavy labor, lived to their 30s or 40s despite injuries and poor childhood nutrition, and were buried with a dog and a mysterious newborn. The study offers insights into the social and physical hardships of early mining communities, highlighting exploitation and resilience.
