The cranium and its accompanying skeleton are actually those of an 11-to-14-year-old boy with recent ancestors in the Italian peninsula or Sardinia, not a 20-year-old woman or a member of the Macedonian-Greek Ptolemaic dynasty.
The youth may have had a disorder like Treacher Collins Syndrome, a rare disease that affects facial development, probably leading to functional, as well as aesthetic and subsequent psychosocial problems during his lifetime.
