News - Romanov Mystery Solved?



We are a little obsessed with the tragic story of last of the royal family of Russia, and all of the various movie adaptations that go along with it (Ingrid Bergman, we love you!)

Now, news comes from Russia's leading anthropologist that the final piece in the mystery surrounding the deaths of Czar Nicholas II, his wife, and their five children, might be in place.

The remains of a 10-12-year-old boy and that of an 18-23-year-old woman have been found in the city of Yekaterinburg, where the family was held and later executed by Bolshevik revolutionaries.

There is a good chance that they may be the remains of the Czar's son and heir to the throne, Alexei, and one of his daughters either Anastasia or Maria.

We are amazed at the power of science to unravel the mysteries of the past!

Slumber deep, last of the Romanovs.
