According the Greek classical sources the Iberians are indigenous to the area; it is why we call Spain and Portugal as being the whole of Iberian peninsula.

La Dama de Elche! I took a class about Spain's history through art when I was doing my MA in Spanish (one of the cultural classes I needed to take) and this statue was one of the first we studied. The color version was stunning.

@@messianic_scamalso being 'nothing to do with spain' - there are many scholars that will dispute your 'facts'. People with actual postnominals, my friend. Not just a couch potato that's looking for an argument.
There are works of art that are timeless, and this is one of them. I have the privilege of seeing it in Madrid. You were re-creations are beautiful and indicated that she was a beautiful woman Thank you so much I do follow your recreations often online
Such a striking statue, whom ever she was in her day, regardless of the time gone bye. She is even more captivating. Have only one question for her, if only I could ask. Excellent recreation work!
This is so beautiful...this reminds me of your other video about Nefertiti...Both Nefertiti and Lady of Elche would have been considered beauty standards in their times...that's why some artists spent so much time and effort to make their detailed sculptings...❤
Gorgeous! I hope archeologists will be able to unearth more information on this clearly elegant culture. The Lady of Elche reminded me of Amal Clooney.
Cartagena (near Elche) was originally a colony of Carthage called Carthago Nova, Carthage was in turn was a colony of Tyre (Phonecia) so we know quite a bit about their culture already,
@JcDaniel that is true but you an analyze the composition of stone itself to determine where it came from. that doesn't prove where it was carved but it is safe to assume that it was carved near to where it was quarried.
I have visited the city of Elche many years back. I really enjoyed the Palm Garden. I wish I could visit Spain again i used to spend many happy summers in the town of Benidorm. 😊 This is an amazing channel ❣ Greetings from Tx🌵
Amazing work. Love the history and theories. To be perfectly honest, I never contemplated wanting to be with a much, much, much older woman until now. 🤔 She was gorgeous just looking at the bust. 🥰 Thank you for bringing her to life in modern fashion. Love your voice for telling the stories.
What an absolutely beautiful recreation! I would actually love to see you take it a step further, and make her look Celtiberian with auburn hair and hazel brown eyes. Thanks for doing such a beautiful job representing all of this art that you re-create.
It's wonderful to see these old souls given life,I feel that for a split second,they see something,just fanciful thinking,but you do such fabulous work,thankyou 🌻
This is stunning! I have seen a few recreations, but this is by far the most beautiful. Both in her original form and modern, she is captivating. I would LOVE to see a 360 degree view!
The facial traits are those of a classical mediterranean woman, it's incredible how human beings didn't changed too much in some areas of the world, she could pass for a normal modern woman!
Dude.. humans don't change that much in less than 5,000 years... And they certainly do not go from monkeys to humans in 6 million or less years lmfao....
@@lechatleblanc If you look to older photos you can see how common people has changed, better hygiene standards, better diet and also the easier communications (so more opportunities to marry out of your village) have surely contribuited to improve humans' aspect. Think that until 20th century there were a lot of semi-isolated communities, expecially in East Europe, but also in other European countries.
it's very lovely but i really am taken by the added touch of the jewelry. it just brings an added smile to see the subtle pulling of the elements into the modern form. very nicely done.
La recreación de sus colores en la versión antigua es impresionante, la recreación moderna es tan real que la podría encontrar mañana mismo por la calle. ¡ Fantástico!
Y de hecho la encuentras si le das una mirada a la actriz Brasileña Morena Baccarin. Son tan parecidas que te llevas la impresion de que Morena Baccarin poso para esa recreacion.
@@Cordoba82 A mí me recuerda más a la cantante española Diana Navarro, con un toquecillo de Paz Vega. Morena Baccarin me parece más redondeada y suave de rasgos, más "dulce", por así decirlo.
This was a new part of history for me. I had never heard of her before. But I immediately thought I knew where the costumes for Princess Amadal (Star Wars) came from when I saw the image. Radio waves....Atlantis....? I could hear the smile in your voice before you even shared your opinion. Very beautiful piece and loved the way you brought her to life.
Oh!!!. Its Teri Hatcher!!. Wow!!. She IS a time traveler from Atlantis!. I know!!..... Superman brought her from Krypton!. Lol!!!! I HAD to click on this recreation. Ive seen many a video on this sculpture. And, yes, like you say, travelled down many a rabbit hole on this subject. She's stunning!. as well as the rest if your subjects!. Seriously, tho, I LUV your work!!. Watched numerous videos. Actually, visually devoured them!. You bring a real sense of how and why these historical figures made such an impact on their times!. You can see the intensity in each of their appearances. I was immensely moved!. Better than any other "recreation" channel I've visited!!. Bravo!!. Definitely subbed!!.
First time hearing about this statue, it’s so beautiful. But what most caught my attention was how the headdress style looks similar to the hairstyle of the indigenous Hopi women 😯
Yeah! I wanted to see her come alive! Thanks! Fascinating history. I had only learned a little. That there were remains of a person inside has my vote for who she was. She could have been royalty.
I wasn't familiar with this ancient statue, so I'm very intrigued. Excellent job on the "recreation". First thing I thought was that the side "buns", they weren't "princess Lea" buns lol. But they look to be technological. Another thing I noticed was the statue appears to be looking down, which isn't shown in the recreation. The "looking down" likely has something to do with the reason and the purpose of the statue. Good work!
It's such a beautiful statue, I actually have an old art history book displayed in my living room that has the Lady of Elche on the cover. I agree that beauty is timeless, the recreation reminded me of Salma Hayek. As always thank you for the recreation, great job!
A really great video! The statue is very beautiful, especially the modern recreation. I also appreciate you sticking to the facts and avoided the Atlantis angle, 😂. I will watch more of your videos!
I always enjoy your videos. I always end up learning something new from them. Have you done any of the old west outlaws and heroes? It would be really interesting to see them brought to life. BTW, your narration is excellent! It’s smooth and professional and has a nice personable tone.
Good morning. I am a spanish historian. La dama de Elche is a funerary iberian statue from the Iberian people ( turdetanos, edetanos...) Who lived mainly in the mediterranean part of Spain before the arrival of the Romans. They are our ancestors. It has nothing to do with Atlantis or Punic invaders. By the way... It was discovered by a farmer Who was working in his plot. Spanish history is one of the most complicated histories in Europe, believe me.
Hello! Did you watch the full video? I’m in no way stating that this is a statue from Atlantis, in fact I dismiss it outright. The video talks about her history as an Iberian masterpiece. The boy Manuel who discovered the statue was a farm worker, yes.
She is absolutely gorgeous. Such beautiful and perfect features.
Your recreation is absolutely beautiful. The original is stunning. Both are beautiful pieces of art. Thank you for sharing.
The recreation is breathtaking!!! Thank you for bringing these beautiful people back to life for us!!!
Thank you!
I couldn’t stop staring at her eyes, the recreation took my breath away literally. I’ve watched these recreation videos many times. This one felt different
Wow, she's absolutely beautiful! And she does look Iberian, I'd say...
Wow! She looks like a modern Spanish woman. Very beautiful!
NO, She look like a Berber woman.
no she doesn't she looks like a truscan alabaster
She actually looks very much like a friend of mine from that same area of Spain!
@@greyLeicester I forgot to mention that the friend of mine who looks like her actually has reddish brown hair and green eyes, but the features are a dead ringer.

Some of the oldest European features.
Actually a lot has changed in our facial structure, weaker jaws chins less developed features in the modern era

Lovely work and history. The modern recreation makes me think of Sean Young.
It's such a beautiful statue, I actually have an old art history book displayed in my living room that has the Lady of Elche on the cover. I agree that beauty is timeless, the recreation reminded me of Salma Hayek. As always thank you for the recreation, great job!
To me she looks like Lydia Valentin, a Spanish female power lifter who as a native ethnic European may be one of her descendants.
Very interesting!
