10 Historical Figures Brought to Life | Royalty Now Top 10 of 2023

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

You guys are the BEST. Which subject would you be most excited to see in 2024?

[@wylde_hunter]

I love your work. It would be great if you could do Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra

[@mediocremaiden8883]

Roman and Byzantine Emporers and Empresses, please 🙏 !!!!

[@Daisy1484]

how about queen Esther from the bible?

[@judywhaley5092]

Perhaps some personalities from the Bible - Old and New Testament.

[@Titemaud]

Charlemagne, or Sissi.

[@shelleyj3704]

I find the smiles truly emotional. I guess that's because traditional and official portraiture so rarely shows a smile or a warm expression. Seeing these people smile feels like a true gift. From the writing, research, editing, and recreations, you both do fabulous work.

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Thank you :) I always find myself smiling back at them during the re-creation process. I love them too.

[@kaybrown4010]

I can’t help but smile back. 😊

[@denisesudd5318]

They are remarkable especially Louis 14 when he smiled he looked so happy

[@SaltyCrystal]

Same. George Washington's reveal has to be my favorite. That was the first one that I was TRULY emotional over. Even her modern interpretation of him.... SO GOOD.

[@basiliskos119]

I actually cried a little when I saw Joan of Arc smiling, it seems to me that she didn’t do that very often, her life was so hard.

[@Angieibrahim777]

As a person who lives in Egypt it’s fascinating to see how Hatshepsut looks like any ordinary Egyptian woman I would see at the mall today 😊 beautiful! 👍🏻☺️

[@gracetruthandlight]

There is a big difference genetically between ancient Egyptian royalty and modern Egyptians. They were blonde or reddish haired, with blue or green eyes.

[@azzteke]

@@gracetruthandlight Who is "they"?

@@azzteke did you read my comment? Ancient Egyptian royalty.

[@Joskemom]

Well, I need to go shopping in Egypt because Hatshepsut is a hottie.

[@musicmann83]

@@gracetruthandlightthey had brown skin for certain, and hair color is hard to know for certain but it likely wasn’t blonde nor reddish except for outliers

[@jonathananderson2406]

I can't help but smile right back. I feel a little more connection to the humanity of the individual when the art comes to life with a smile.

[@CapAnson12345]

My favorite thing about Richard III is they did the forensic reconstruction and didn't tell them who it was supposed to be.. when they were done it was obviously, unmistakably Richard III. which among other things tells you how accurate medieval portraits were.

[@Людмила-ю6й7ъ]

Его гаплогруппа,оказалась,кавказской_G2а!

[@lefantomer]

This reconstruction may even be a bit more accurate. The one from his skull would probably not take into consideration the strain he was under those last two years, between the deaths of his family and the ongoing attacks by Henry's faction. The portrait and this image show that strain's effect. But Shakespeare's fantasy will never again be the true "portrait" of young kink Richard III.

[@lefantomer]

"king"; sorry about that!

Those same ppl Joan of arc saved, killed her! Not only killed her but burned her alive’ it makes me so mad, I actually cry when I think of her being betrayed by the same king she helped put on that throne!

It’s sad how young she was and they did that to her . She was brave , I’ll give her that .

[@banbasafro]

These are stunning. Harriet Tubman not only saved over 300 enslaved people in the Underground Railroad, she also helped free over 700 enslaved people during the combahee river raid. She was awesome.

These are so cool! Im obsessed! I so much love these historical figures- especially the English historical side, for me going into the Westminster Abby and seeing so many of them residing there was also as amazing as these vidoes are in making these people we only can read about- REAL. It truly reminds you that these arent just stories. Well done

Thank you for a beautiful capstone to the year's work. Finding a quality channel on YT is quite difficult, so I'm glad yours turned up. I was especially intrigued by the modern version of George Washington. I expect someone has mentioned it below, but he looked to me rather like actor Liam Neeson.

I believe much more pretty than her Cousin Elizabeth I, and certainly more than Queen Mary, her other cousin. The Tudor is more blunted in her. Do we have a recreation of her Son James VI?

I wouldn’t say Helen of Troy was particularly “beautiful”, but definitely attractive. I like how you portray historical figures smiling…surely people have always smiled.😊

[@heliedecastanet1882]

Helen of Troy never existed. She is part of the Greek mythology.

[@alexandramw8759]

all these are awesome - but I have to say the reconstruction of George Washington reminds me a bit of Joaquin Phoenix. I actually thought it was him at first glance. I had to go back and rewatch it!

[@serenity6415]

My favorite part, by far, is your modern interpretations. They're mind-blowing somehow

[@shaunsanborn7840]

The smiles...to see these historical figures of massive importance smile, especially after all of their portraits depict them with such staunch and stoic expressions...that is what truly brings them to life. Their smiles make them so much more approachable. As far as who I would like to see a recreation of in 2024, one who immediately comes to mind is Massasoit. The Wampanoag sachem who forged a rather tenuous but vital peace with the Puritan settlers of modern day Massachusetts in 1620.

I remember when they found Richard III's body under a parking lot. I was very moved by the whole thing.. Love your channel!

[@serahloeffelroberts9901]

According to Richard III s DNA, he had golden hair like the other Plantagenets. I don't know why he was portrayed with dark hair in the contemporary depiction except to wonder if the pigments darkened over the centuries.

[@bethwilliams4903]

None of the ‘portraits’ known to us of Richard, as Duke or king are from his lifetime or near lifetime much less known to be by artists authorized by him or his House to paint him so whomever left those paintings, or copies of the ‘originals’ is at best guesswork for us - especially with all the efforts made to raise the shoulder to imply a hunchback etc - some portraits show Richard with such a cramped, pinched, sour face I initially mistook him for Henry of Richmond (Henry VII)

[@nicoleroth3127]

​@@serahloeffelroberts9901Kind of... 🤷‍♀️ Him having blonde hair doesn't automatically mean he had light coloured hair. Dark blonde hair can be quite a bit darker than some shades of brown. That said, apparently the type of blonde Richard's hair was supposed to be according to the DNA, tends to darken as the individual grows into adulthood. So, as a young child, he likely had light blonde/golden blonde hair, which darkened as he grew into an adult and became a dark blonde. And that's actually what we see in the portraits of him, even though they aren't contemporary but near-contemporary copies. The exact shade of a haircolour, unfortunately, cannot be determined by DNA. So, how light or dark his hair was ecactly in adulthood, is anyones guess. Anyway, according to my former hairdresser, while most people consider blonde hair as light in colour and brown as darker, it's more about the undertones. Blonde is cool toned and brown warm toned, but neither has anything to do with how light or dark the hair might be.

[@ketwil8431]

This is just a thought. Do you think the hidden portrait behind Queen Elizabeth the 1st could possibly be Queen Mary of Scotts?

[@clovermccombs8597]

One of the best parts of your videos, is how calming your voice is.

[@HelmutKassel]

I love your videos. It's absolutely amazing how you bring historical persons to life. As a German it would be very interesting to me how King Friedrich II. from Prussia (1712-1786) would have looked like. Maybe you can bring him back to life, too.

Helen of Troy story is in the Illiad not the Odyssey.

Helen of Troy appeared in the Iliad. The Odyssey is the story of Odysseus trying to get home to Greece after the Trojan War ended.

She appeared in the Odyssey when she is back home and meets Telemachus. The Odyssey, remember, is also the story of Telemachus looking for his father.

This recreations and movements, smiles, nice eyes,make me think I could see anyone of those people anywhere, what I try to say is: those statues or the paintings are just that and the people painted seem far from being people, as for example this white marbel statues: but in this video, everyone was still alive !!! Sorry for my english as is not my first language, but my third. Hope you understand my point…😅 Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴!

[@takashitamagawa5881]

Helen of Troy... while she is somewhat different from what Hollywood and such would regard as "most gorgeous" today it is easy to see how a people might utterly idealize the face that you created. Beauty may be subjective, but some beauty is timeless and cuts across cultural lines. I do like the conception of George Washington in a contemporary setting.
