Extremely Salty About Ancient Dead Kings

A repository for the many many pretty pictures and things I find in my travels across the internetz. A lot of historical things, along with pretty clothes and shiny stuff. Expect a lot of Marie Antoinette, Cleopatra, Caesarion, Tutankhamun, Ankhesenamun, and general tomfoolery. PS: CLEOPATRA WAS GREEK! DEAL WITH IT!

I apologize in advance for this. 😬✌️

I've been having such a crappy week, then I was randomly reminded of the fact that Dulcibear doesn't know her little one is alive. Imagine her hearing the announcement that "The Wicked Witch of the West" is dead and the crowd erupting in cheers. Uggggggghhh 😭💔

In the early hours of 18th July 1918, a full day after the execution of the Imperial Family, members of the extended Romanov family; Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich, Konstantinovichi brothers (Princes Ioann, Konstantin and Igor), and Prince Vladimir Paley met a brutal death at Alapayevsk in the Urals. They were killed alongside with Varvara Yakovleva, a nun in Elizabeth‘s convent, and Sergei’s secretary Fyodor Remez.

“When we were sure the whole town was asleep, we quietly stole through the window into the school building. Nobody there noticed our presence, they were already all asleep. We entered through the unlocked door into the building where the women were sleeping, and woke them up, telling them quietly to get dressed at once, as they were to be taken to a safe place because of the possibility of an armed attack. They obeyed without a murmur. We tied their hands behind their backs there and then, blindfolded them, and led them out to the cart, which was already waiting by the school, sat them in it and sent them off to their destination. After that, we went into the room occupied by the men. We told them the same thing, as we had to the women. The young grand dukes Konstantinovich (KR’s sons) and Prince Paley (Vladimir) also obeyed meekly.” — The rest of the account is written in the photo above.

The bodies were recovered from the mine by the White Army in September 1918. The bodies were placed in coffins and were moved to the far east. Grand Duchess Elizabeth's remains were taken to Jerusalem, while the coffins of the others were interred in a former Russian Mission in Beijing, now beneath a parking area.
