Tsar Ivan The Terrible

Tsar Ivan the Terrible was the first grand prince of Moscow from 1533 to 1547. And then from 1547 to 1584, he was the first tsar of all Russia from 1547 to 1584. Tsar Ivan the Terrible is assumed to have suffered from multiple mental illnesses, as evident by the way he acted when he was in power. This reconstruction was done by M. Gerasimov, a Soviet archaeologist, and anthropologist. The techniques used were among some of the first forensic cultures.

Marcus of Eindhoven is a 10-year-old boy who was thought to have lived in medieval times. More commonly known as ‘Marcus’, researchers found a  silver coin on his skeleton along with various other materials and silk. It was all thanks to this coin that archeologists were able to know that he died between 1202 and 1342, which was in the Venetian era. DNA further led to the discovery that he was a boy.
