The Archeological Discovery That Solved The Romanov Mystery

The Romanov family, the last imperial dynasty of Russia, was executed by the Bolsheviks in 1918. Their deaths remained a mystery due to the absence of bodies, leading to impostor claims. Archaeological discoveries in the late 20th century confirmed the identities of the Romanovs through DNA testing, although two children were initially missing. These remains were later found, and the family was given a proper burial. The Romanovs were canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church, and memorials were erected in their honor.
