This is a surprise to all fans of history, archeology, and anthropology. If you've ever wondered what historical figures would be like if they lived here and now, look no further - the work of Becca Saladin is the answer. 

Becca, who works as a full-time graphic designer, created the "Royalty Now" series as a way of taking the past into the present and helping to see history from a new perspective. 

Many people think that Becca is using the app or turning them face-to-face, but it is much more complex than that. The artist said it takes her 4 to 5 hours to create each image. Sometimes even longer.
