The voice of the A.I. In the video freaked me out, it felt dehumanizing.

That automated voice is such a poor editing decision. What does it add?

I despise that automated voice narration!

It's always fascinating when we try to find our ancestors and get interested in their way of lives, it makes me feel the life they lived.

It’s incredible to see someone who has been gone for so long to come back to life.

Have there been "blinded" experiments with facial reconstruction on sculls of recently decreased persons for whom we have photos and films, or even face masks? This would help to determine the accuracy of reconstructions of stone age people.

Exactly how Hitler would have imagined her.

What’s with the narration being computer generated on a bbc video?

Fascinating. She looks so powerful. Excellent work.

I expected her to be a little creepy, but she's not at all. A very lifelike recreation.

Amazing how she was reconstructed. Just seeing her in that grave picture, sitting up, it does make you wonder "WHY, WHO was she?"

The digital voice is terrible.

has anybody tested him like using a skeleton where you have a photograph of the known person when they were alive. be curious to see how accurate he is without him knowing what they actually look like.

Anyone besides me feel like yes she was a shaman and very powerful one. She looks like she can stare into your soul and see every bad thing you did and will do in the future. Dang she is other worldly.

Pretty sure that if she lived in Scandinavia just after the last ice age she'd probably have worn more clothes most of the time... but maybe they didn't want to get too speculative about reconstructing them.

First time im seeing a video made about something in my town! Ive gone to that museum (it´s pretty boring except this historic part of it).They also have a couples grave where theyve made a separate room for them where its like youre outside , its really peacefull.

fantastic, thankyou

Fantastiskt! Jag var i Telleborg i somras och visste inte om det, far besöka nästa gang!

The robotic voice over is a really terrible choice. The BBC is world renowned for having outstanding presenters, so the awkward, stiff computer voice is really disappointing...

As tecnologias e as técnicas avançadas ...podem reconstruir e reconstituir casos e pessoas do passado!! De facto o semblante de 7.000 anos atrás é impressionante o relevo e a fisionomia de quem tinha um certo poder por outras pessoas!! Um trabalho fantástico pondo a descoberto os bustos do passado que é importante para o presente!!

Brilliant work and a joy to see. Thank you. ❤

I got also that feeling of seeing her before : )

I do not like the computer generated voice.

Please do a re creation of the longest enlogated skull

Perhaps she was a seer. A remote viewer may be able to see and even interact with the people buried in this site 🗺. No harm in trying, if they didn't already.

Great Works , Facinating

She does look very familiar. amazing!

The Sitting Woman had truly beautiful skull. She could easily pose for Santa Muerte on the opposite part of the planet :)

As if the BBC resorted to a digital voiceover. Made this virtually unwatchable. I gave up 3:48 into it.

did they forget to grade the interview footage?

But also it is impossible to know if she had any scars on her skin, pimples, burns, so much can change the character of a face. Why is it that all the reconstructions that exist out there come out looking like really beautiful people? I'm a bit sceptical.

"I felt that this was a woman I've seen before". Maria, you can just look in the mirror. There is a resemblance. You may be her reincarnation, or that of someone who did know her. Truth is stranger than fiction. I am so happy to see these reconstructions, they are such a wonderful addition to archaeology and anthropology.

Fab video. 👍

I sort of recognized her, too. Partly it was the shape of the face, but mainly the expression: she really reminded me of the Egyptian queen Tiye. Same look of iron-willed authority.

did you reconstruct living man by his skull? Just don't believe you can create exact copy without emotion skull

She already looks very Scandinavian.

Voice synthesis? 🤨 Booo! 👎

Why was this perfectly NORMAL BBC video with an Enlgishman's clear voice... DUBBED OVER by a freaky A1 woman voice... This is unacceptable

She might be a Sami shaman, cause she got high cheekbones and it's a normal feature of Sami people.

I thought she really came back to life.

She is wearing a skin of feathers and seated in a hall that she controls. It seems she may be a valkytja why not name her either Gondul or Freyja?

Whats the deal with the eyeliner, thats an unfounded edition which only serves to evoke an egyptian aesthetic.

some of the translation is not accurate.

The BBC really had to use Mrs. Roboto?

The sitting lady looks mean and she means business. I bet she was the leader of the tribe. Greetings from Germany...🍺🖐

Maybe she died seated, and when rigor mortis set in they buried her in that position. The rest is added speculation, that she might have been a shaman etc.

I hoped for more background on the genetic and isotope makeup that was available for the reconstruction. Also, just a bit of sociocultural context - who were her people? Just a voice over for a couple of minutes worth of this information. As it is now, we are focused on reconstructors and the superficial graphics glorification.

Have they a DNA sequence for her? Wonder if we're related!

She looks exactly like the actress from Felicity or Austenland. I can’t remember her name. They could be twins

The computer narrator is not good. It sounds cheap and the joke is played out. I’m trying to pay attention to this fabulous information but the robot voice is so distracting and irritating.

She looks like an actress from the 70's or 80's, but I can't remember her name.

Maybe they could test her DNA and see what her decedents look like.

A striking resemblance to a young Kate Mulgrew.

She looks like Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden

The wide head and narrow jaw are very Slavic look.

*_Det där är Häxan surtant_*

She even did her eyebrows

AI voice ruins this documentary. What a bizarre editorial decision. I had to force myself to watch through. Why on Earth did you decide to do an AI voice? I hope you’ll consider doing the voice over, over.

the robotic voice is so weird.. LOL

She also looks like someone I know

Quoted from this video from around 1:35 to around 1:52 "she" says... "...computers as we know them have only been around for about 1% of that time, but in the blink of an eye they are now not only defining what our future will look like, but giving us incredible glimpses of our past straight from the wildest dreams of historians from only a decade or two ago." Is this not startling to anybody else? Why are we allowing computers to tell us what our future is going to be, or even what our history is? Trumping all documents, religions, traditions, and stories told since beginnings of time to tell us how to believe, think, and live? This is absurd. This same technology and science that has caused Covid to be as extreme as it is if not actually creating it. The same that led Hitler to perform extreme atrocities. Led doctors to bleed their patients to death. Really? Is this really where people today want to place their faith? It's not only your own funeral, but also the funeral of the world. Terminator prophecy has indeed been fulfilled. The world taken over by machines. Thank God for other prophecies yet to come that will save us from this mess. This is getting really bad.

Wouldn't a mesolithic Swede have had dark or black skin?

Northern Europe must have been a very hot place in ancient time!! Poor woman!!

Try and See what they found in Turkey 7.000 years BEFOR THIS. GOBEKLI TEPE

The woman reconstructed her to look just like herself

A healer/shaman

Get a real narrator! That computer voice has all the charm of a dental drill!

PS This amazing woman looks very like the French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis ! What's odd is Vanessa did an ad for Coco Channel years ago in a bird cage as a bird..... All those feathers on this lady! Bonkers!!!

Kool

It is 1000% ain't accurate.

This really fascinating doco. Which is about humans and humanity is ruined by the use of a computerised voice over. Stupid technique.

Lady Stoneheart.

Sami

Basic instinct - Sharone Stone - anyone ??? :)

the robot voice is ew ew ew ew

No, the people did not go there from Southern Europe. These graves belongs to Fenno-Ugric people. Have they made any DNA testing? Germanic people went up North many thousands of years later.

looks like modern Scandinavian women if they led a hard life.

She looks a lot like my grandma

Why am I seeing this same statue doctored by National Geographic to have dark skin and hair when it's clearly not?

Looks to modern

IT'S MAYBE TERRIBLE JOB & DIFFICULT TOO. NOT ESPECT IN 100%

,🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

TERRIBLE DIGITAL VOICE, DON’T DO IT AGAIN

First !

She could have just invaded the White House?

🇸🇪♥️🇺🇲

Wouldn’t she be dark skinned with brown eyes based on the genetic timeline of when light skin and blue eyes appeared?

Did they retrieve DNA from these remains?

That's interesting.. shamans are depicted to have magical powers like black magic,in Swedish folklore.. any research about that?

Stop lying to people

Ancient Swedes were brown now, eh?

She died sitting in meditation. This was an ancient practice that some Buddhists and Hindus still practice.

Who was she? An animal tooth collector..... obviously.

was this edited and devised as a school project ? Seems really poorly executed, how far as the BBC sunk ?

Typical liars 😂😂

It’s so sad that people’s graves are being excavated and bodies displayed for people to see. The disrespect.

Fascinating topic. Presentation was not cleverly artistic; just disruptive and annoying. Listening to the experts talk, and seeing the what they were talking about, was the substance of interest. Everything else was unnecessary and irritatingly distracted from that.

What’s with the cheap and nasty digital voiceover? Almost as bad as the background music soundtrack. I thought I was watching discovery channel offcuts for a moment there. Tories gutting the BBC budget like they are the ABC budget here in Australia?

Please bin the AI presenter - it’s awful to listen to and cheapens the rest of the production.

"I felt that this was someone I recognized ..." Sorry, but the population of Sweden has been replaced since that time - she would look like no one you have ever known. The Swedish people didn't even exist yet when she was alive, so if you think you could recognize her, it's a bad reconstruction. She should look different than anyone you know.
