God that was a disappointing punchline.

Take a look at Hans Holbein's portraits of the court of Henry VIII, which are some of the most accurate and lifelike portraits of humans at the time. It sorta blows my mind how those people from that age looked so much like people today, minus the attire. I know it's like "Well they're people what do you expect??", but it's just alien to me to think these people looked and probably acted EXACTLY like us modern folk.
