      Not just kids!
      The teachers who taught history classes at the school I attended until graduation seemed to focus on memorizing dates and names.
      It wasn't until I attended college that history lessons actually became more interesting, so students could actually understand its impact on our lives, culture, the whole world.

      PhD in history here. This is an exciting video because it really humanizes these people. It's interesting how normal they look, and how difficult it is to relate to the historical paintings. For instance, the wives of Henry VIII all look very attractive now, while in their portraits it's hard to appreciate their beauty. I think I like Charles II as a rock star best. He basically WAS a rock star.

    Even more startling than Louis XIV being imagined as a punk rocker in a leather tank top, is having the Parisian cityscape in the background [complete with the Eiffel Tower built 174 years after his death]. Having endured scary times of rioting in the city as a child, Louis would always loathe Paris and spend as little time as possible there- which is WHY he built the gigantic Versailles Palace on its outskirts and ran all of France from there instead of its official capital!

      I descend from Louis XVI,(and all the French Kings back to Charlemagne in the year 804,) from the mixing of Louis XVI blood with that of a "woman of the night" in Louis's time. A baby momma, basically. So we descend from ½ Royal blood and ½ baby momma blood. True Story! Vive La France!

      @@Paul-zz8lu Are you sure it wasn't Louis XIV [14th]? He was rather randy [even for a king who wasn't above commanding women he fancied fulfill his desires]. As for Louis XVI [16th], he was the first married French king in quite a few centuries to have had no known mistresses (which Marie Antoinette liked to gloat about). .Of course, if one traces back virtually ANYones genealogy far back enough, one can find kings as well as commoners [and yes, that DOES include the Windsors]!

      It's a big difference how much these pictures have changed. Vlad Dracula looks exactly the same as he did in the 1400s, but Henry VIII is a totally modern guy. And it is a mystery why he would choose bland Anne Boyleyn over pretty Catherine of Aragon.

      I have a theory: There are about a few dozen face types in every "race". Face types also overlap between races, so you can see similar features in faces between different races, just coloured differently and with minor differences. All 100 billion of us humans who ever lived have can be classified into these. I'm not sure this applies to early humans or other members of the homo genus. They may have their own face types.

What we know of her comes from words of contemporaries, like she wore a red dress when she met the king to be. Not bad for someone who tiilled the fields and tended to the livestock in her father's farm. Very religious, she often took a breather to pray.

    Wow. This is the best video of it's kind I've seen yet. Some of the original likenesses of these people or the individuals, themselves have always seemed kind of odd looking to begin with (ie: Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Nefertiti) and I kept thinking, "There's no way they're going to be able to pull this one off... " but they nailed it every time! I loved Mona Lisa and Thomas Jefferson but I think my favorite was Henry VIII. The transition sequencing was also spectacular. Thank you!

      I'm sure the original artists took at least a few liberties with the paintings/busts (especially when it pertains to powerful ancient historical figures that could have you executed if they're displeased) etc. - this video basically just textures over/pastes the original heads/busts over AI generated/retrieved pictures of bodies when it's very likely the real people did not look like this.
