Romanov Remains Thunderdome or BUT WHAT ABOUT ANASTASIA?!
Added 2019-10-19 14:21:17 +0000 UTCGreetings Deathlings!
OK. I know I say I'm "so excited" for you to see all our videos, but with this Romanov video I'm sincerely SUPER DUPER excited for you to see it.
So much research went into it, so many brain melting hours of writing, recording, and editing. When I say in the video that the part on "molecular genetic testing and incredibly complicated international political conflicts" was originally 12 pages long, I'm not kidding.
Louise may never forgive me for trimming down those 12 "deep-geek" pages, but Landis, our editor, will be forever grateful. Gotta keep the balance in Team Death Video.
Nonetheless, we are all really proud of how this video turned out. Remember that whole #YearofAmbition thing?
And if you really are interested in THE SCIENCE and THE CONFLICTS and all the death nerd Thunderdome stuff, do check out the "selected sources/additional reading" section in the video description. You too can have your brain melted by RUSSIAN HISTORY and ROMANOV CORPSE FACTS. Robert K. Massie's book The Romanovs: The Final Chapter is a quick, surprisingly dramatic read that gets into all the corpse and DNA (and Anastasia) nitty gritty I know you deathlings love.
It's all fascinating stuff. Fascinating and genuinely emotional.
So thank you for making a video like this possible deathlings! Coming up next week we have a new Order article for you, and next Saturday we have a Patron-exclusive bonus video for you.
I hope you're making the most of SPOOOOOKY MONTH. Doing anything fun? Anything spoooooooky?
Feet Don't Fail Me Now,
Caitlin
