Anthropologists have analyzed a skull that was found in the ruins of Ephesos ( Turkey ) in 1929 .

It was long speculated that it could be the remains of Arsinoë IV , the sister of Cleopatra .

However, the remains are those of a boy between the ages of 11 and 14 who suffered from pathological developmental disorders.

His genes point to an origin in Italy or Sardinia .

One of his cranial sutures, which normally only fuses at the age of 65 , was already closed in his case.

The most striking feature was the underdeveloped upper jaw, which was unusually angled downwards.

The researchers conclude that there was no regular tooth contact, a consequence of the growth anomaly of the jaws and face.
