It was started as a means to identify criminals but now of course the same technique is used to see what famous historical and religious figures looked like. From Jesus to Copernicus, CGI programming cam now rectify anybody.
In earlier days historical figures like Dante would get their own face masks upon their death. The basis for CGI programming is essentially the same as the external outing of a face is put to use.
