Under the garage floor was a tiny coffin made of lead and bro...

People from the past have left behind a treasure trove of clues about their lives — from enormous monuments to fragments of personal items, as well as the bones of the people themselves. But the people who left these clues are often a mystery. Now, thanks to modern scientific techniques and technology, researchers can accurately reconstruct what those people actually looked like, helping to bring long-dead people from history back to life.  Here, we take a look at some of the best re construction s.  1. 'Juanita,' also known as the 'Ice Maiden' (Image credit: Oscar Nilsson) Archaeologists took scans of a young Incan girl's frozen mummified remains, which they found on the summit of a mountain in Peru, and shared them with a forensic artist who created a facial approximation. Dubbed the "Ice Maiden" and "Juanita" by researchers, the life-like reconstruction contains real human hair and clothing similar to what she was wearing when she died 5...
