mikahearttan :

Anne Boleyn and the Chinese Empress Ulanara share some striking parallels…

Christina 🌻 :

im so tired of the "its Anne boleyn. MAYBE," its every couple months 🙄🙄 let's leave the poor woman alone to rest until we know for sure

withglee :

Ann Boleyn spent years in France, has anyone tried to find any sort of images there? HVIII would not have had rule over those images.

daydreambeliever :

It is so fascinating how both Anne Boleyn and Katheryn Howard (who were cousins) were both at one point married to Henry VIII, both executed via beheadings, and both have zero confirmed portraits of them from their time. Katheryn has been attributed to at least three different portraits with zero factual evidence to prove that any of them are her. One of the portraits associated with her is also argued to possibly be another portrait for Anna of Kleve.

Irene Ponders🤔 :

oh I'd love to do research like this

˚.⋆꒰১ cinnamon ໒꒱⋆.˚🤎 :

It was because she gave birth to a girl instead of a boy.

carli 𐙚 :

that’s charli d’amelio x

Diana on her phone :

I know Anne was that girl.

𝑛𝑖𝑘𝑜𝑙𝑎 :

Why don’t they dig out her grave and look? Ik they are supposed to rest and stuff but coffins have been opened before and she needs a better burial site.

nicole⚔️ :

you can have a weak jawline while being slender…

makeupbymissmazzone :

I’ve read all of Phillipa Gregory’s books on the Tudors and the Plantagenets. I highly suggest them!

LAYDEEINKxo❤️ :

Woo I’m so early for the first time ! I wanna thank my kids, my mom, my phone, my typing fingers, my timing, and I also wanna say, I LOVE YOU!

Mars :

Here's another sketch I found that looks like the first sketch of Anne Boleyn.

Tess T Culls :

Very interesting! And sad

Nicholas (Sedgewick) Thompson :

Wow that’s really interesting that AI can be so specialized - is this with other biological relatives in data set from that family besides Elizabeth I and her dad Henry VIII and his mother in law!?

Desi |Tri-Cities| Meal Prep :

This is so interesting!

ƬӇЄƬƲƊƠƦƧƠƜƝMƳӇЄAƦƬӇ :

Anne Boleyn wasn’t charged with witchcraft, and the blonde hair on the first sketch isn’t actually blonde it is just an auburn color that faded. Also we cannot trust the AI they used for facial recognition.

Ellsebeth :

I love your content ❤️

is :

The best way to use facial recognition softwares!!!!

Joel.le :

Hmm…i don’t know but the scientific approach they used doesn’t sound right to me. Holbein was very talented, a genius even but not to the point of using his drawings in a facial recognition software. Also maybe elisabeth just looks more like her father

Lainey Louviere :

He tried to erase her but she's literally so many people's Rome

okolruof :

If yall ever go to the castle just look up you’ll see her and Henry’s initials all over that they forgot about since they were on the ceiling

Oh damn :

thehistoryguy :

The person in the sketch is not blonde. It’s because the pigment has lightened over the centuries
