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"?

[@gracetruthandlight]

@@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!

[@Allyourbase1990]

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

[@dianemoxon9809]

According to legend, her heart was found intact and unburnt in the ashes.

Red-haired Macedonian Greek Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra so far has been my favorite. Absolutely stunning and makes it easy to understand how great and powerful men like Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony were under her spell. Great work all around. Cheers.

[@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.

[@chatonmignon8724]

Extraordinary woman !

[@bobevans9996]

Harriet Tubman actually had a misshapen head because her master threw something at her head.

Hatshepsut is beautiful, she looks much like modern Egyptian women. Thank you!

[@angelg2638]

Glad you didn't make her look like Liz Taylor

[@VanessaHBIC]

Remember in Peabody and Sherman they had the wayback machine and would time travel to many famous periods in time and see all the historically famous figures? This channel is my wayback machine 😊

[@katwitanruna]

I loved the Wayback Machine!! And agree.

[@Joskemom]

I'll go way back and try to get with Hatshepsut. Damn, she is fwine.

[@mcanultymichelle]

Love your work.You make history really.

[@user-ej8oq8bv1c]

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

[@readinggirl1198]

Please do the story and recreation of Dido Belle, including a modern day version.

[@michellebernard1930]

[@Heyoudummy]

These are so awesome and your voice is so very soothing!

[@adnanbezerra6014]

if Helen made thousands of ships go to war, then I'm just glad my fiancée wasn't born at the time. her smile would have single-handedly caused the collapse of the ancient civilization

[@rillagorton6141]

[@ivyrose779]

I’ve always thought Mary Queen of Scots was so beautiful. She had such an interesting and, at times, tragic life.

[@Людмила-ю6й7ъ]

Ее,здесь_исказили!Нет,ни одного ее настоящего портрета!Видно,так ее"любят",что везде по-разному,изображают!🌹

[@luckykatz14]

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?

[@HannahJack123]

Masterfully done, beautiful!

[@whissywhassy]

The famous epic of Homer was The Iliad not The Odyssey that tells the story of the Trojan war and Helen of Troy. All the recreations are fantastic, loved all of them. Awesome work❤❤

[@rdhawke]

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.

[@conniethornton2576]

The Smiling with perfect teeth! . Nah,I don't think so, tooth decay, crooked,and stinking mouths, would be more like the norm

[@gracetruthandlight]

Not always. Sometimes ancient mummies and skulls had great teeth.

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

Shows you have zero knowledge of history. Pick up a book

[@jacquimg2469]

Thank you for this beautiful retrospective. I find every one of your recreations emotional - they introduce historical figures as real people. I’m looking forward to what 2024 brings!

[@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.

[@pioneercynthia1]

Your skills with illustrations have really come a long way! Bravo!

[@heronwireo1085]

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.

[@geegnosis8888]

It would be nice to see Alfred the Great and his family.

[@theMick52]

King Louie would literally be in a rock band today!

[@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!

[@mac2807]

George Washington is my favorite. Fascinating to see the modern likeness.

[@serahloeffelroberts9901]

He is much better looking than the Gilbert portrait we grew up with in the classroom. He looks like he could be the spy master of a spy ring

[@rlenz2525]

Wow! I just discovered this channel. It is truly amazing!!! I love Becky's voice. Does anyone else agree that Jane Austin and Joan of Arc could have been sisters?

[@serenity6415]

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

[@pollywollydoodle831]

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.

[@gaby7008]

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.

[@kennyl9094]

[@pau191]

This is pure modern art. It's beautiful

[@ketwil8431]

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

[@maddilee1189]

I loved Jane Austin's so much, and well as Queen Hatshepsut. They're all so good though.

Not going to lie, I’m not launching an epic war for that Helen of Troy. Was there a cousin we could opt for?

[@leanndavis7717]

These portraits are gorgeous

[@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.

[@sinsiist]

Richard the III didn’t hide the princes in the tower to become king. He never wanted to be a king as he said so, but because of the prince’s young age he had to take control until they’d be of age to rule. He was killed by Henry the VII because the latter was raised and educated to one day make the Lancaster’s the royal family. The princes disappeared so they wouldn’t be killed by Henry the VII and, one day when they’d return, one of them would be king again. But that never happened. That’s why the current royal family doesn’t want dna tests done to potential remains of the princes.

[@alyrios]

My favorite has to be Jane Austen because that is how I would envision how Elizabeth Bennet would look like as well.

[@DENEB609]
