This was a terribly fascinating video. Why don't you have more subscribers?? You remind me of John Green from like 2008 or 2009.

@steelvenom2003 I am always questing for more subscribers! Tell your friends. And your mom. And strangers. ANYONE. PLEASE. :)

Wasn't there an old woman who washed up on shore somewhere at some time(vague memory is vague) and claimed she was Anastasia? Even when no-one believed her she still claimed it until she died several years later. That what my brother told me when I was a kid anyway.

[JacksonAPearce]

@xXXHariboXX She didn't exactly wash up, but I think you mean Anna Anderson, a famous Anastasia Romanov imposter. She was put in a mental institution after a suicide attempt, but refused to give them her name. After about two years, she began claiming she was Anastasia. People who actually KNEW Anastasia said Anna was an imposter, but she still managed to convinced a lot of people (probably out of genuine mental illness). DNA testing since then proven that she was, in fact, an imposter.

4:05 AM and I can't get to sleep and now.... I'm scared. Yes talking about killings in the middle of the night scares some 11 year old girls... Including me. But great video!

Technically, he wouldn't be Louis XVII, would he, JP my friend? That would be a regnal name, and as he was never crowned, he would have remained only the Dauphin (French crown prince) and have no claim to a regnal name.

Why would a heart be passed around *shivers*



[EddieHots]

I did a project of Anastasia and u nailed it with Anastasia's history!

[ElenaClare]

Wait, wait, wait, wait....the movie Anastasia is historically inaccurate? You mean she doesn't run off with a cute guy named Dimitri? My childhood allusions are shattered!

[Sharonxxx56]

Maybe the skeleton was not really misplaced :P

[journeyofadreamer]

I love that you talked about Anastasia! Being a Russian and all thats one of the stories I grew up with! When the Romanov family was finally all together they had a big ceremony for them as a proper burial. I remember watching it and crying my eyes out. Its a bittersweet memory from my childhood. :)

It funny that writers know some form of history and do well in school. My history teacher loves writeing and she teaches two class about writing and how writing is changing over time like i alwas tell her and my english teacher "from old engish to new english and to text.(lol brt jk wtf....)"

do you agree? I think you should talk about this.
