Default CT scan reveals hidden face under Nefertiti bust
BERLIN – Researchers in Germany have used a modern medical procedure to uncover a secret within one of ancient Egypt's most treasured artworks — the bust of Nefertiti has two faces.
A team led by Dr. Alexander Huppertz, director of the Imaging Science Institute at Berlin's Charite hospital and medical school, discovered a detailed stone carving that differs from the external stucco face when they performed a computed tomography, or CT, scan on the bust.

I find this interesting because the royal family at the time had be depicted as pretty much deformed but the changes almost seem like they were trying to make her look better.
