Considering that Giovanni's remains were relatively fresh in comparison to some of the Ancient Egyptian figureheads featured on this list, forensic anthropologists didn't find it all too hard to reconstruct his face, given how ridiculously life like the CGI 3D model appears. Although the skull which was exhumed wasn't in the best shape, they were still able to work their magic to blow us away.
The battered remains were first discovered in 2014 as part of a historical excavation which cost a hefty two million Japanese yen to complete. So, was it worth it? Given the fact in all of his other portraits that are intended to give us an idea of what he looks like look like they've been painted by Edvard Munch, it's clear that the two million was pretty well spent.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
