Analysis of a skull found in the ruins of Ephesos in 1929 shows it is not Arsino IV
77% Informative
Anthropologists have analyzed a skull that was found in the ruins of Ephesos ( Turkey ) in 1929 .
It was long speculated that it could be the remains of Arsinoë IV , the sister of Cleopatra .
However, the remains are those of a boy between the ages of 11 and 14 who suffered from pathological developmental disorders.
His genes point to an origin in Italy or Sardinia .
One of his cranial sutures, which normally only fuses at the age of 65 , was already closed in his case.
The most striking feature was the underdeveloped upper jaw, which was unusually angled downwards.
The researchers conclude that there was no regular tooth contact, a consequence of the growth anomaly of the jaws and face.
