Romanov Forensic Reconstructions: Skeleton #6

Full video with context: https://youtu.be/quiZIWiOmtM

Which Romanov daughter is this? The first Romanov gravesite was excavated in 1991. To confirm the identity of the Romanov Family, who disappeared while under Bolshevik house arrest in 1918, DNA was taken and forensic reconstructions of the bodies were made. It turned out that one daughter was missing - but they weren't sure who. This is the reconstruction of what investigators called Skeleton #6. They confirmed it was either Anastasia OR Maria Romanov.

However, in 2007, investigators announced that they had discovered two additional skeletons, separated from the original gravesite. This site contained the body of the son Alexei, and another unidentified Romanov daughter. So now, all the bodies are accounted for. Yet the debate still rages about who Skeleton #6 belongs to.

The Russians firmly believe that Skeleton Number 6 belongs to Anastasia, but the controversy is still raging. Here are my re-creations of this forensic model, with comparisons to Anastasia and Maria, including the different hairstyles they often wore. While I’m not a forensic scientist, this one to me is the spitting image of Anastasia, but I’d love to hear your thoughts!
