Archaeologists found the bones - the forensic expert assembled the crypt: Human remains were found in the courtyard of the Victoria School in New Haven, Connecticut, and according to an expert's calculations, it appears that he would have looked like the image shown above.

The man, who was born in the 16th century, died in his 50s, and was presumably executed.

The proof of this is the fact that he was buried in a grave with a shallower depth than usual, the location of the grave near the site that was a hanging area, and the fact that it was unmarked.

In addition, advanced archaeological techniques prove beyond a doubt that he was murdered and did not die a natural death.

Researchers believe he was a pirate who was executed. Evidence for this is the site's proximity to the port, and the authorities' desire to make such executions public for deterrence purposes.

Despite the fact that a skull was found at the school, the children apparently said that for them it was a 'cool' find: "A skeleton under the playground, that's really cool.".

The skull and additional data were transferred to a forensic expert for the construction of craniums, and he was able, using advanced software that deciphered the structure of the skull and its components, to determine that the person who lived about 500 years ago would have looked like the picture.
