Maybe zero evidence isn’t quite true. I wonder what the researchers worked off to make this guess? Skulls from archaeological digs in the area? Egyptian art? It’s a fair guess, at least, that Moses’ hairstyle would have links with contemporary Egyptian culture, given where and how he grew up. But I agree at most it all probably amounts to very loose guesswork.
Or did they just pump into AI: “make a picture of Moses that looks different to medieval and early 20thC style, that will give me academia-likes.” ;-)
Edit: ah, pity, looks like this is a joke rather than a real ‘reconstruction’. I also didn’t read the fact-check before I commented!
