Dark skinned people, that would include various hebrew tribes as well as tribes outside of the hebrews that worshiped 1 or more ancient "Gods" like the Egyptions ect,.

I don't claim to be an expert on this subject but 2000yrs ago the first "Christians" in Rome were migrants/immigrants, and they also went into the south or France, and Spain, Portuagal, Romania,. ect,.

Had that happened the Roman Empire may never have arose and history would be quite different.


An Alexander about 45 years old would have conquered the whole known world, from India to Europe, I think ...

Caesar against Pompey the Great, for the leadership of Rome:

Default Emperors of ancient times - Real Faces

Panagiotis Constantinou

After a lot of requests to re-create the faces of the Tsars, I attempted to bring to life the face of Ivan the terrible, or Ivan Grozny, which is based on the
Forensic facial reconstruction of Ivan by the Soviet archaeologist and anthropologist, Mikhail Gerasimov.

Countess Elizabeth Bathory, from Hungary, the Blood Countess


Panagiotis Constantinou

Thanks to the actual and original portrait of Elizabeth Bathory painted by master painter Anthonie Blocklandt van Montfoortthat, that was discovered in 2015, we have the ability to reconstruct her true face.
Some say that her story inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Elizabeth Bathory - Real Faces - The Blood Countess
Her face bears a striking resemblance to Emperor Caligula.

The nature of the two is similar.

Perhaps it is the physical expression of evil... in all centuries.

Panagiotis Constantinou

The face re-creation of Catherine of Aragon, who was Queen of England from June 1509 until May 1533, and the first wife of Henry the VIII. Starting from early teenage years until maturity, and also trying to show the elaborate hats of that specific time period.

That's true, but I also think the author is using the same facial templates when doing these reconstructions. The facial structure and the smile between Caligula and Elizabeth Bathory is almost identical.

Mary I of England, the Bloody Mary


Panagiotis Constantinou

Before the Elizabethan era, that is often depicted as the golden age in English history, there was the short and bloody reign of her sister queen Mary Tudor, also known as "Bloody Mary".

Young Catherine of Aragon was quite pretty if she really looked like that in real life. But Henry VIII wanted a son which she didn't give him. And then five more wives, and we know how four of them lost their heads.

This video in the series in the logical follow-on to the last one. Hope you don't mind my posting it.

Thanks for the excellent video, Comrade Ray.

Very good, because it demonstrates the sequence of the reign of Mary I to Elizabeth I.

And it shows Anne Boleyn and others too.

I hope Mr. Constantinou can do a video about great European explorers such as Prince Henry the Navigator, Christopher Columbus, Giovanni Verazzano, Sir Walter Raleigh, Jacques Cartier, Sir Francis Drake, Hernando de Soto, James Cook and others.

Great suggestions, Comrade Ray.

Mr. Constantinou certainly has a lot of work, but we can humbly give him some ideas.

Catherine of Aragon was the best as well as the first of Henry's wives. What an interesting and remarkable woman.

On the paternal side, my ancestry is completely Spanish.

I dare to imagine that I have some of the blood of Queen Catherine of Aragon...

Mary, Queen of Scots


Panagiotis Constantinou

After many requests, I had to try and bring back the face of Mary Stuart or Mary, Queen of Scots to life. Her tumultuous life, marriages, lineage, execution established her as a divisive and highly romanticized historical character, depicted in culture for many years.

Zeytun, Egypt


The light and the sword

The appearance of the Mother of God in Zeytun with an incredible number of witnesses who simultaneously saw her and amazed faces, this phenomenon, even at the government level, made concessions towards Christians, who were considered a minority in this country. This event can be considered incredible and reliable, millions of converts and atheists and Muslims, statesmen. As soon as people saw the doubts, no one asked immediately, because everyone present saw the phenomenon. Here we will process the photo and see the real image of the Virgin Mary.

Perhaps you are a long-lost descendant.

Maybe a little more Roman stuff:
