Alexandria syndrome: an urban myth
The writings on this "genetic mutation" refer to It received the name of Genesis of Alexandria in the 60s, although it is also related as the name comes from a case that occurred in the fourteenth century in Northern Europe.The story tells that a woman called Alexandria Agustin , born in London in 1329, who was born with blue eyes to go little by little turning to a violet tone.Thought to be a witchcraft, her parents went to a priest who told them it was not a devil's thing and that it could be related to a story that I had heard about a group of violet-eyed people that came from Egypt and that would have been left with eyes of that color and very white skin due to the effect of a mysterious bright light that flooded the night.They called them the spirits They were moving northward, specifically to Europe.
Nina Alejandria was then considered very special, became a very beautiful woman and had 4 daughters, all with eyes like her, dying at 150 years of age.
And according to this story, those born with this genetic mutation have blue or gray eyes at birth, changing to purple at six months and, with puberty, to violet.They also lacked body hair, except in ears, noses, eyebrows, eyelashes and scalp.And most incredible, the women do not menstruate , but have children; its life expectancy is 120 to 150 years; do not gain weight, age very slowly, keeping the appearance of a 50-year-old person and could be considered a kind of super humans : young, long-lived, healthy and with violet eyes.
But is it possible to have violet eyes?
The truth is that yes, but it has nothing to do with this special mutation.Violet eyes are usually given in people affected by albinism and is a product of the mixture of red tones with blue tones, resulting in a very special tone, an intense blue, almost violet, due to the lack of melanin in the iris.There are non-albino people who may have this curious and peculiar eye color, the constant reference being actress Elizabeth Taylor.
