Digital art done by artificial intelligence is becoming a widespread and trendy phenomenon, and as many more people flock to it, the technology progresses exponentially. Because of this, the recreations done by AI get better in quality: recreations done a year ago are nothing like the ones done recently, and you'll quickly see it for yourselves.

It's my third iteration of AI portraits in this theme. It's always interesting to think that many of us look like someone in the past. In the beginning, when I only started recreating these famous historical personalities, I noted that they don't look all that different from regular people, so I decided to accentuate it by framing it as a modern portrait. The things that followed next are history, and an archived history at that, one which you can check out in the links here, and here.

So good! I don't know if you want input, but... I think the digital version's nose is a little bit too slim and too upturned, and I wonder why her eyes are greyish and her eyebrows a completely different shape. But really, GOOD JOB! The expression is perfect, and she looks 100% real. I'm extremely impressed.

    Maria Quitéria, The Brazilian Heroine

    Maria Quitéria, The Brazilian Heroine

    In its struggle for independence from Portugal, Brazil recognized the invaluable fighting force of a woman. Maria Quitéria was a real-life Mulan (which may have been real, but not as well documented). Her stories varied in the sense that Quitéria fought for the love of her country over the vehement objections of her father, who controlled her life until the choice of a spouse. She grew up working in hunting shooting, encouraged by her mother, who died when Quitéria was still young. To fight the rebel leader Dom Pedro, Quitéria fled her home in 1822 and enlisted in the Brazilian army accompanied by her brother-in-law, wearing one of her old uniforms.

    Quitéria assumed the identity of a young male soldier and rose through the ranks for his shooting skills. Things came to a head when her father found her and insisted that her superior officer send her home. Instead, the major refused to let her go, because her skills were too valuable! Unmasked, Quitéria became the first woman to officially serve in the Brazilian army. The army's trust in her also paid off.

    Greek Historian Herodotus

    Greek Historian Herodotus

    Herodotus was a Greek writer and geographer credited with being the first historian. Sometime around the year 425 B.C., Herodotus published his magnum opus: a long account of the Greco-Persian Wars that he called “The Histories.” (The Greek word “historie” means “inquiry.”) Before Herodotus, no writer had ever made such a systematic, thorough study of the past or tried to explain the cause-and-effect of its events. After Herodotus, historical analysis became an indispensable part of intellectual and political life. Scholars have been following in Herodotus’ footsteps for 2,500 years.

    A whole load of history and politics has been glossed over here! Mary fled Scotland and sought refuge in England with her cousin (once removed) Elizabeth. Instead of refuge, Mary was imprisoned for 19 years. I think that I'd be inclined to engage in a little bit of conspiring after I'd been imprisoned for 19 years! Elizabeth was worried Mary would succeed to her throne. Instead it was Mary's son James who became King of Scots, and King of England.

    The Real Pocahontas

    The Real Pocahontas

    We all think we know Pocahontas, but her real story is very different from the popular image. Pocahontas was an extremely talented and lively 10-year-old girl when Jamestown was founded in 1607. She was the daughter of the Great Powhatan, who ruled over numerous client tribes in the Chesapeake, the region the Powhatans called Tsenacomaca, and he selected her for a special role because of her intelligence and personality. Captain John Smith said her “wit, and spirit” made her stand out.

    Pocahontas was captured and held for ransom by English colonists during hostilities in 1613. During her captivity, she was encouraged to convert to Christianity and was baptized under the name Rebecca. She married tobacco planter John Rolfe in April 1614 at the age of about 17 or 18, and she bore their son Thomas Rolfe in January 1615.[1] In 1616, the Rolfes travelled to London where Pocahontas was presented to English society as an example of the "civilized savage" in hopes of stimulating investment in the Jamestown settlement. On this trip she may have met Squanto, a "Patuxet Native American" from New England.[5] She became something of a celebrity, was elegantly fêted, and attended a masque at Whitehall Palace. In 1617, the Rolfes set sail for Virginia; Pocahontas died at Gravesend of unknown causes, aged 20 or 21. She was buried in St George's Church, Gravesend, in England; her grave's exact location is unknown because the church was rebuilt after being destroyed by a fire.[1]

    First of all I think we can all say we all come from some culture that has some of it right's taken away. So please cool your jets people get certain things wrong. It's not like the government doesn't censor things in history that they believe are bad. It's not super easy to find this information unless you actually look for it specifically. And as a person who comes from multiple different cultures and has family members who come for multiple different cultures I understand where you come from. But please this just a website to post interesting things on. Nobody is trying to be super historically correct though as a person you who has studied history profusely I understand where you come from .

    Barbara Mertz (an Egyptologist) wrote in 2011: "Egyptian civilization was not Mediterranean or African, Semitic or Hamitic, black or white, but all of them. It was, in short, Egyptian." So, from all I've read and learned, Egyptians can range from light skin to dark skin as they have all races in them. More power to them!

    Not all Nubians were black. Read about the ancient cemetery found and the DNA done on the Royal families living there. Over 60% of the women dug up were European middle-eastern or Eastern European Haplogroups. The men were a mixture.

    FYI y'all => The painted sculptures of Queen Tiye - Akhenaton's mother, portray her with dark complexion (and super fierce features) I saw one such artefact in Berlin's Neues Museum a couple of years ago and even bought a postcard of her, because her no-nonsense facial expression was so striking. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTjE0NuUIZ96wKdDzQqytPxoGCaa_oAMr2Bog&usqp=CAU Mixed children & pple with mixed ancestry are born all over the melanin spectrum - from rich dark chocolate to olive or even porcelain pale. No way to know for sure how the genetic lottery turned out in the 18th dynasty. Sun exposure also plays a role, as darker skins get tanned faster (more melanine)... There are pix of me as a child looking like a little Eritrean after 3 weeks of intense sun exposure at the beach...

    Not entirely true, there is certain evidence that a dynastic line or two were black in Egypt, which shouldn't come as a surprise since Egypt has a very long history, being ruled over by many different people over time. Pyramids were built in the south by the people of Ethiopia and Sudan, and these countries has a very interesting and long history in their own right, which is well good to look into.

    Marie Curie

    The Polish scientist was the first woman in history to win a Nobel Prize in Physics. And she won twice.

    She had a poor childhood, and to be able to study, she had to move from Poland to France, escaping the prohibition and lack of opportunity for women in science.

    She was top of her class in her master's and together with her husband, Pierre Curie, developed the principles of radioactivity. She ended up dying at age 67 from the negative effects of radiation, for so long she was exposed to her studies and experiments.

    These are being done by Artificial Intelligence. However, I am not sure if they are Photoshopped afterwards. AI always seems to overemphasize one body part like eyes or cheekbones which makes the result look uncanny. Usually AI portraits reach the uncanny valley where the portrait looks human, yet there is something slightly off that you cannot quite place like perfect facial symmetry or eyes being disproportionately large for the face.

    Christ The Redeemer, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

    The 38-meter-tall, over 1,000-ton statue took five years to build. It can be said that she was created by six hands. Engineer Heitor da Silva Costa designed the first project, plastic artist Carlos Oswald was in charge of the final design and French sculptor Paul Landowski modeled the pieces that make up the statue.

    The statue unveiling ceremony, October 12, 1931.
