Appearance in these pictures is not that important as even in European engravings the Chinese are depicted as Caucasoids. It is enough to look at their clothes. As you can see, their costumes resemble those of Muscovites. But after Mahmud the II, their uniforms now resemble the ones the French would wear.I don't buy that one, sorry. We are being lied to.
Until the mid 19th century (the times coincide with the tumultuous events of the mid 19th century, when perhaps a Reset and Replacement happened) they looked like this:

This guy is a little sketchy. Mahmud the II. Born 1750, died 1839. Reigned 1808-1839. We seem to have two versions of him, with
substantial differences:

After Sultan Abdulmejid the I however, they start looking like this:

Russians also dressed in French-like costumes in those times, but Muscovites or Tartarians continued to wear oriental costumes. See Napoleon and Alexander. And the Tartarian flag on the right.

Look at how moscovites are dressed
I'm not very familiar with the history of the Ottomans so idk
I am defending the official narrative by claiming the race or phenotype (I mistakenly said appearance) of a person in these portraits doesn't matter much and what they wear is more important?With all due respect dear sir - and no offense intended - you might be in the wrong place. We are here to try and discern the real truth about our past among all the lies and falsehoods we have been fed, and to try and make sense of those things that make no sense at all or why they exist at all in the first place.
You however, seem to be on a quest to defend the official narrative.
Have a nice and sunny day.
PS: They look Caucasian also in "original Turkish" portrait miniatures.
Yes the ugly were portrayed as good looking and the fat as lean. "Photoshop"I have to contradict you. Appearances matter. Contemporary (to those times) matters.
Because "they" don't know the truth either.We are being lied to.
Seven Prince Electors of the Holy Roman Empire
Wikipedia shows this image for Charles V (left) and his successors Philip II, Philip III, Philip IV, Charles II.Charles V was Holy Roman Emperor and Archduke of Austria from 1519 to 1556, King of Spain (as Charles I) from 1516 to 1556, King of Sicily and Naples from 1516 to 1554, and also Lord of the Netherlands and titular Duke of Burgundy (as Charles II) from 1506 to 1555. He was heir to and then head of the rising House of Habsburg.
The depiction of Charles V (centre right) and his successors doesn't match the "official" pictures.This canvas illustrates the “Inca family tree”. The Spanish monarchy of the time sought to legitimize its absolute power over the conquered territories. To this end, the Spanish were obliged to demonstrate that the conquest of Peru did not spell the end of the Inca dynasty, and that the kings of Spain were their only legitimate heirs. In this painting, Carlos V appears as the successor to Atahualpa, and Carlos IV – the last king represented – figures as the 25th Inca emperor of Peru.
Do you see that little sheep the five Charles en Philips have on their chests? Sheep? Who are they herding? (rhetorical question)On that theme -

Pretty standard stuff.
Now if you look at the Lineages of Incan Rulers and Spanish Leaders, from the Larco Museum in Lima, Peru -
The depiction of Charles V (centre right) and his successors doesn't match the "official" pictures.

If the official pictures of Charles V and his successors are false, this calls into question the pictures of their parents and children - and probaly a whole lot more.
Interesting, it represents the Order of the Golden Fleece.Do you see that little sheep the five Charles en Philips have on their chests?
The Order of the Golden Fleece is a Catholic order of chivalry that was created by Emperor Charles V’s great-grandfather, Philip the Good of Burgundy. There are two branches of the order that exist today which are the Spanish and Austrian branches. They correspond, historically, to the Spanish and Austrian branches of the House of Habsburg.
By 1519, there were only 163 members of this order. And upon death, the golden fleece had to be returned. A man who is depicted wearing such a symbol is not a mythical saint, but a real person with a real history.
Trump just told the entire Israeli government that some people think they have only existed for 500 years.
After listening to his speech, my conclusion was similar to yours, but the question to me is why now?? Why would he hint at a very specific topic (considered probably uncanny for everyone who never questioned anything ever) and small number of researchers in a moment of political, economical and societal turmoil?This suggests his target audience is indeed the people he is addressing and not domestic voters watching the speech at home.

It’s a good book. I found a copy on the internet archive. I’ll go post this over in that thread as well.Regarding Intel and their possible role in the historical criticism community, I have long assumed that the superiority of Russian authors in the field is due to Russian intelligence agencies goosing the process after the fall of the USSR. When the first SH site appeared in 2018, an entire library's worth of good research already existed in Russian. For example, I have just seen the post by @MaziarMohajer linking to a work by Grishin and Melamed called "The Medieval Empire of the Israelites", published in 2005! Here we are breaking our heads, trying to figure this stuff out on our own, and some guy in Russia wrote an entire book about it twenty years ago. It's next on my reading list.
Case in point, I am currently halfway through Flavio Barbiero's "The Secret Society of Moses", in which he argues that the descendants of Moses were the original high priests of Israel, and that they later wrote themselves out of the Bible and inserted a (demonstrably) false genealogy going back to the "brother" of Moses, Aaron (today's Levites trace their ancestry to Aaron, not Moses). They did this in order to rule from the shadows with no threat of blowback. Barbiero goes on to argue that Josephus Flavius was a descendant of Moses, and that after the sack of Jerusalem in 70 AD he and his branch of the priesthood (the highest, Mosaic branch) betrayed the Jewish hoi polloi and joined up with Rome. This was done through the creation of a secret society, Sol Invictus Mithras, which ran Rome from the shadows and orchestrated its eventual conversion to Christianity, an exoteric creed invented by the Mosaic priesthood for the purpose of controlling the masses. (Remember as well Freud's thesis that Moses was an Egyptian.) In other words, the descendants of the Mosaic priesthood were not exactly "Jews", but rather practitioners of Greek/Egyptian occultism who originally attached themselves to the Jewish people and used them as their first test subjects. (This dovetails nicely with Philippe Wajdeman's thesis in "Argonauts of the Desert", which is that the Bible was written by the Platonic Academy, using Greek mythology, as a social engineering experiment whose goal was the creation of an artificial people based on the "rational" principles set out in Plato's "Laws". After their successful test run with the Hebrews ended in the destruction of the Temple (I now think this really happened, just not how, when and where they say), they decided to up the stakes and try again on an even bigger scale, with the Roman Empire as their front organization (which, as Tamanksy and others have shown, actually occurred in the 15th-17th centuries).) Barbiero is not a chronological revisionist but it's not too hard to calibrate his ideas to the revised chronology discussed here.
Is "Josephus Flavius" -- the cornerstone linking the fake Bible to fake Roman antiquity -- a nom de plume used by the Mosaic/Platonic priesthood who wrote it all?
Anyway, the connection with Intel is the following. Barbiero is a retired admiral in the Italian navy. He betrays a familiarity with the structure and initiation rituals of Freemasonry on a high level. He talks about the fact that high-level positions in the military have, since the days of Domitian, always been controlled by members of the Secret Society of Moses. He argues that the Pannonian Flavian dynasty of the 2nd-4th centuries is so-called because they secretly traced their ancestry back to Josephus Flavius, himself a descendant of Moses (officially there is no connection between Josephus Flavius and the Pannonian Flavians).
Do you see it? I laughed when I realized that the author of the book is named FLAVIO Barbiero and that he is an admiral in the Italian navy. He's all but telling us that he is a high-level Freemason and Flavian (and descendant of Moses) himself. Now, it's possible that the conclusion we should draw is that he is therefore not to be trusted. But I think it is also possible that he simply wants the truth to be known about his illustrious ancestry. In any case, we can suppose that someone with such a profile has a better chance than some random professor of having access to real historical information. In other words, there is no way for us to know if he is a truth-teller or a deceiver, but we CAN logically presume that he at least knows the truth himself...
It’s a good book. I found a copy on the internet archive. I’ll go post this over in that thread as well.

This document provides a table of contents for a book that aims to challenge traditional historical chronologies and present evidence that major historical events like ancient Greece and Rome actually occurred much more recently, between the 11th-18th centuries AD. It summarizes that many ancient manuscripts were actually forged in the 15th-16th centuries to help establish national identities. Archaeological excavations were also manipulated to support this constructed version of history. The book seeks to provide a revised framework of medieval history.

LOLHere we are breaking our heads, trying to figure this stuff out on our own, and some guy in Russia wrote an entire book about it twenty years ago. It's next on my reading list.
Anyone who presents a work titled "The Medieval Empire of the Israelites" is a professional deceiver. I have already said and will always say, they do not have the capacity to invent anything new, only to steal and invert something made by someone else.
It's therefore clear how this Empire of fictional characters in a fictional era never existed, and all this "work" is just another lie, a deception to deceive people.
