According to the source ,the picture shown is dated ca. 1618 A.D. So,if it wasn´t painted by a guy with quite solid precognition skills, it should depict Abbas I. Perhaps I shouldn´t have named the pictures "AbbasI" and "AbbasII " ;)

Could well be him. I looked at how he was depicted in a CIV V mod and if you see the white fur applications on his shoulders,they may be visible also in "C5" . If you imagine the figure being a bit closer to the background ( the inner wall of the maidan ) it might also explain the background...

Recognizable? Really? I mean, if you look at Monty in the video would you have recognized him from his picture on the board? I certainly not. In my opinion the figure shown in the video was quite likely inspired by this sculpture,if you look at the "eyed" helmet with "ears" , feather cap and...

At least it would be a nice touch to the game if they would put some of the archeological sites in coastal waters ( like shipwrecks of ancient naval battles ) which could only be salvaged if you discovered a neccesary technology. But I doubt it somewhat.

Next ( and hopefully last ) try at "B5" : Obviously you had to look at it a bit different than apparently most people do. Compare the shadow areas. The black "slits" (eyes ) the shadow under and right of the nose and under the chin. Then compare the brightest ( less yellowish )...

Ok, let me put up another suggestion for "C5". Since it seems that everyone sees a different headdress here,it might as well be a bit funny thing like the guy in this picture wears. This picture is described as Mayan leader.Since the original artwork showing Mayan leaders isn´t really...

If we go on the inspirational level, then things could get tricky indeed.... Look at this site: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/81768549459593385/ Here you will find good old Tomyris (a bit down in the rightmost column ) described as " Sassanid female warrior" . So maybe the Persians are...

Just googled it myself.I found the picture and it links to a site for Halloween costumes designs as "Queen Tomyris costume". I hope they don´t do all their research work by this "method" .

This is really a bit strange that they took a depiction which is described as a "Scythian noblewoman " in the book , when ,on the very next page in this book, there is a depiction of a woman described in the Text as "Scythian Queen ". Maybe the first picture was additionally published somewhere...

Its simply an enlarged and "unsmoothened" version of the picture. I didn´t took it from the original video but took it from a picture posted somewhere down the thread.Does it really look that different to you ?

Actually , in "C5" I can´t see feathered caps,turbans, horses (?) or anything else like that just because it should be there. The original pictures are blurry but not distorting and, if compared to the 100% originals, reasonably detailed to see all exept minor details. So, I have no reason to...

No.In the Alphabet I learned, it doesn`t fit. So, since the discussion around "B5" gets a bit to Tamaresque for my liking and to give you guys food for discussion for the next ,lets say, ten pages I would suggest the Graeco - Indian Kingdom and Menander I. as ruler for "B5". Unfortunately I...
