One scientist has answered the question surely on everyone’s minds since The Elder Scrolls 5 released over a decade ago – just what would Skyrim’s skeletons look like if they were alive today? Well, it turns out, they would look like disgruntled cavemen.
Thanks to facial reconstruction technology, Twitter user Sulkalmakh from the Ancestral Whispers cranial reconstruction research team brought Skyrim’s bony boys to life, as it were.
In a playful tweet from April Fool’s Day (via IGN), the user shared their “Facial reconstruction of an ancient Atmoran from Saarthal, dated to the late Merethic Era”. This may well have gone over the heads of many, but eagle-eyed fans were soon quick to realise that the face staring back at them on the screen was indeed that of a (now fully fleshed) Skyrim Skeleton.
