1. Romanov family
⑴ In 1918, communists (Bolsheviks, Lenin) executed families and servants of the ruling Roman Romanov family (300 years of history) and buried their bodies in the abandoned mines of Yekaterinburg.
① Alexis, who would then succeed the emperor, was suffering from hemophilia. The empress was dedicated to the prince’s health and thus made various mistakes.. His disease also served as a cause for which he would not succeed the emperor..
⑵ The fall of the Soviet Communist regime in 1991
⑶ In 1991, the voice of the movement to raise the right funeral of the royal family for the purpose of liquidating the Soviet Communist regime became louder.
⑷ How do you know who is out of nine remains buried in the abandoned mines in Yekaterinburg?
2. Forensic evidence
⑴ Forensic science : Targets medical problems related to law
⑵ Forensic evidence
① Excavation dead body evidence
○ Excavation body damage was so severe that fingerprints and foot prints could not be found.
○ No evidence of poison (cardiopathy)
② A collection of excavated bodies
○ Presumably aristocratic with gold, magnetic products, etc.
③ Evidence of bone
○ 6 adults and 3 children
○ Pelvic bones decay
○ Electromagnetic overlay of royal records and bones : Emperor, Empress, 3 of 5 children, 4 servants (cardiac)
④ DNA fingerprinting
⑶ Questions at the time of the first excavation
① Why are three children’s remains of five children?
② For health reasons, his son Alexis would have died.. Is the last princess Anastasia alive?
③ Anna Anderson insisted that she was Anastasia..
3. Romanov’s appearance and genotype
⑴ Tetanus (C) and Straight Hair (c), Black Eyes (D), and Blue Eyes (d)
① Papillary hair is dominant against straight hair
② Black Eyes Dominate Against Blue Eyes
③ Head and eye color genes are not related → Mendel’s law of independence
⑵ Emperor : Straight Hair (cc), Black Eyes (D_), Empress : Wavy Hair (C_), Black Eyes (D_)
⑶ Tetanus (C_), Black Eyes (D_) : Tatiana, Maria
⑷ Tetanus (C_), Blue Eyes (dd) : Anastasia, Olga
⑸ Straight Hair (cc), Blue Eyes (dd) : Alexis
⑹ Emperor (ccDd), Empress (CcDc)
① Empress X is the carrier of the emperor ×
○ ∴ Emperor cc, Empress Cc
② Emperor × Empress showed recessive traits (hair) of hair, so both Emperor and Empress showed
○ ∴ Emperor Dd, Empress Dd
4. Romanov and hemophilia : Why did Alexis have hemophilia?
5. Romanov royal family and DNA fingerprint
⑴ DNA fingerprinting
⑵ Nine of Yekaterinburg’s tombs have different DNA fingerprints.
⑶ Romanov families seem to be more similar in bands than servants
⑷ Royal children’s bands must match at least one parent’s band.
① The chromosomes of royal children are either paternal or maternal.
⑸ Emperor and Empress (adults 1, 3), 3 daughters (child 1, 2, 3), 4 servants (adults 2, 4, 5, 6)
6. Fingerprint contrast with Romanov pedigree
⑴ Comparing the DNA fingerprints of the relatives of the emperor and the empress to confirm the Romanov family
⑵ Adult male bones (associated with children) were related to Emperor’s brother George.
⑶ Adult female bones (associated with children) were associated with Philip’s nephew, grandson.
⑷ Conclusion : The tomb contains the emperor, the empress, three children, and four servants..
⑸ Anastasia and Alexis’ remains were found in further excavations..
