In this thread we post as realistically possible reconstructions of how some tribes and peoples looked like in...

a classic: the dying Gaul

Augustus, the first Roman emperor

His face looks very much like the face of a West-Flemish guy I know

spooky af

why are they so ugly? surely that girl is inbred with the size of her forehead

how do they know his hair/eye/skin color?

>tfw no qt high test strong-boned scythian gf

Well, half Berber half Syrian.

living conditions were much harsher obviously, these are the kind of huts they lived in

Iranic girls had strong manjaws back when they were white (mainly R1a and G3a).

>all these images

ayy

>travel back 1500 years
>suddenly swimming in Celtic pussy with my comparatively God like facial structure and healthy development
Ancient humans were fucking disgusting

Jesus, her mouths so wide she could deepthroat a horse and still have room to breathe.

Living conditions don't make your forehead half your face, nor do they vanish your chin
Yeah but now you have to fuck uggos

>Living conditions don't make your forehead half your face, nor do they vanish your chin
Being fairly inbred and often malnourished and sick probably does.
Also, fetal alcohol syndrome probably played into a lot of early societies (as probably a lot of other now-easily-avoided birth defects associated with simple knowledge of germ theory and substance abuse).

Nigger thats a man
An ugly man

>Yeah but now you have to fuck uggos
I guess what we consider to be pretty people have to come from somewhere. Best start getting to work and reverse-contributing to the gene pool.
Maybe you can convince women that sex is only acceptable in the dark with, like, a blanket over their head. You know, for modesty.

>surely that girl is inbred with the size of her forehead
You have to remember that for a lot of the ancient world, a village is essentially filled with people who are no more than cousins to each other after a couple generations. Inbreeding to a fairly high level combined with disease and poor nutrition was probably a bigass problem. Though the severely dysfunctional probably never made it to adulthood and were explained as changelings or demons and just post-partum aborted.

You should've traveled back 500 years, user. That's where all the qts are.

This is how an authentic medieval knight looked like.

>A few years ago an excavation at Stirling Castle uncovered 10 skeletons. One of them was a knight, possibly Sir Robert Morley, believed to have died during the Scottish Wars of Independence. His age at the time of death was in his 20’s and he stood 5ft 7in tall, with a very strong physique.

>Morley appears to have been an impressive warrior, his skeleton reveals that he lived with an arrowhead lodged in his chest. He also had a severe dent in his forehead from an axe blow, that he survived! Ultimately what killed him was a sword strike that sliced through his nose and jaw. It is believed that he was lying down when he received the fatal blow.

An English archer from the 16th century.

>The Mary Rose was one of King Henry VIII’s ships that sunk around 1545. The ship was raised in 1982 and researchers found over 92 complete skeletons in the ship. They determined this man was an archer due to the “repetitive stress injury of the arm consistent with pulling a longbow with a force of up to 90kg.” Researchers believe he was a high ranking officer. He was found with an ivory arm guard and a silver ring. His age at the time was late 20s to early 30s and he stood over 6 feet tall.

Archbishop of Canterbury.

>Simon of Sudbury was the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1375 unitl his death in 1381. Sudbury was a casualty of the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. He had a pretty grusome death; it took eight blows to behead him on Tower Hill.

yup...

What's harsh about that hut?

The lice, presumably.

...

Looks like your average hooligan.

gemma whelan not looking her best there.
i feel like her face really suits her character somehow. very forceful and aristocratic.

how did they treat this?

The re-constructed face of Maximilien de Robespierre, based on his death mask and descriptions by contemporary witnesses.

>Several clinical signs were described by contemporary witnesses: vision problems, nose bleeds (“he covered his pillow of fresh blood each night”), jaundice (“yellow coloured skin and eyes”), asthenia (“continuous tiredness”), recurrent leg ulcers, and frequent facial skin disease associated with scars of a previous smallpox infection. He also had permanent eye and mouth twitching. The symptoms worsened between 1790 and 1794. [...]

>The retrospective diagnosis that includes all these symptoms is diffuse sarcoidosis with ophthalmic, upper-respiratory-tract (nose or sinus mucosa), and liver or pancreas involvement.

Can we trust the face mask though? With the whole shot in the face thing

The further back you go the bigger the jaws it seems...

That looks like the kind of guy you'd see arrested in the American south for various white trash related shenanigans.

Holy shit that stereotypical Anglo hooligan face. I guess they had a function in society back then.

Yeah, our diets changed

Seems like Germanics weren't the only ones with girls who had man jaws. Tacitus called the Sarmatians ugly and said Venedi (Slavs) are ugly because of mixing with Sarmatians.

She is definitely a female warrior though, with an elongated skull, it is a reconstruction from a grave. Remember Amazons were related to them.

this: Malnourishment and disease was indeed very common. Surviving childhood in those days wasn't an easy feat.

>Also, fetal alcohol syndrome probably played into a lot of early societies (as probably a lot of other now-easily-avoided birth defects associated with simple knowledge of germ theory and substance abuse).

Especially when you think that at least the iron age Belgae drank beer as a foodstuff, the alcohol was what conserved the grains for the rest of the year.

yeah, lice, flees, mice, all sorts of vermin really

they did not live very close to each other, each hut hidden from sight as best as they could, but in a stone's throw from each other in case of a happening

and how did they treat vermin other then having a hearth burning inside the house?

>God like facial structure and healthy development

Maybe amongst the most agrarian of celts, but you can see in this thread the divide between the processed grain eaters (roman busts) and t he whole grain eaters (reconstructed skulls of women with huge jaws)

Chewing builds jaw muscles, which put the mandible under stress and it grows thicker. Chewing tough shit was a constant thing for 200+ thousand years and now that we have soft foods thanks to crop breeding it's as if a huge weight has been lifted from out jaws. Like the long bones of astronauts withering due to a lack of constant force.

A huge jaw is the original state of humans.

>u wot

She was found in Siberia and her people originated in of course eastern-europe, not Iran

My girl was Sarmatian, yours was Scythian. Both are Iranic and carry haplogroups R1a and G3a.

Scythians are remnants of ancient european nomads though

Bump

Most people in the pre-modern era drank beer as a foodstuff, since acquiring clean water was pretty hard. It was a really, really weak beer though.
