You would be forgiven for thinking that the CGI reconstruction of Simon Bolivar was an image of an actual human being. The digital sculpture was created by a forensic imagery team who spent an entire year going through historical documents with a little help from the Venezuelan government to create the most accurate representation of his legendary face as humanly possible.
If the results are true to form then it would be safe to say that he was quite the aesthetically pleasing character, which was never really evident in the more cartoonish portraits and illustrations which were created to immortalize his heroic life. He was actually pretty cute; in a 3D kind of way, that is. The reconstruction was unveiled on the 229th anniversary of the political legend's birth and currently sits in central Caracas.
