History on Instagram would be like a wild trip down memory lane. You'd have Julius Caesar dropping some epic selfies with the Roman Senate, and Cleopatra showing off her latest makeup looks. Just imagine the Allies and Axis powers duking it out in the comments section. Oh, and don't forget about ancient civilizations – the pyramids of Giza would be the ultimate Instagram backdrop. And hey, who wouldn't want to see a #ThrowbackThursday of the first moon landing? History buffs would be scrolling for days! Credit:

00:00Got an Instagram account?
00:03Of course you do – everyone's using this platform, from your friends and co-workers
00:07to your favorite celebs!
00:10But what would it be like if ancient people, or creatures for that matter, could time travel
00:15to the future and get their own Instagram account?
00:18What would their feed look like?
00:20Well, let's click on the profile of the mighty T-Rex.
00:25Its latest photo?
00:26A close-up selfie of the dinosaur trying to apply lipstick with its tiny arms, but most
00:31of the makeup ended up on its cheek instead of its lips.
00:35Those sharp teeth almost make you miss the caption,
00:38Who says you need long arms for the perfect makeup look?
00:41Nailed it or failed it?
00:43Hashtag T-Rex problems.
00:47Next up, the Velociraptor.
00:49This was one fast dinosaur.
00:51Its Instagram feed starts with a blurred image of it sprinting, its mouth open in what
00:56looks like a big grin.
00:58In the background, you can see a slow turtle desperately trying to catch up.
01:02The caption?
01:03They see me rolling, they can't keep up.
01:05Hashtag catch me if you can.
01:11The Brachiosaurus feed.
01:13Well, isn't this a stunning panoramic view of the prehistoric jungle?
01:17In its latest picture, you can see a sneak peek of the top of the Brachiosaurus' head
01:22popping up from the top of the frame.
01:25It looks like it's struggling to get into the frame of the selfie.
01:29Tried to take a selfie, but the frame wasn't tall enough.
01:33Hashtag tall girl problems, hashtag selfie fail, the caption says.
01:39With those funky facial features, you'd have to assume the Triceratops would always
01:44get in trouble.
01:45Its latest Instagram photo proves just that.
01:49It has its horn stuck in a tree with a surprised expression on its face.
01:54The caption would surely read, note to self, watch where you're going when you've got
01:58three horns, hashtag stuck in the moment, hashtag help needed.
02:04What about some famous historical figures?
02:07Take Cleopatra, for instance.
02:10Her latest photo has her sitting in front of a mirror, applying makeup to her eyes,
02:14but the eyeliner wand is really big.
02:17Her caption?
02:19When your eyeliner is on point, but the wand is bigger than your ambition.
02:23Top queen problems.
02:25Sure, Napoleon Bonaparte might've been an imposing roller, but who's to say his fashion
02:32sense would've been on point too?
02:35Check out his latest photo.
02:37A selfie of him wearing his bicorn hat, but it's slanted so far down it covers most of
02:42his face.
02:44The caption says it all.
02:45Ze see ze bigge ze hat, ze bigge ze power.
02:49Can someone help me adjust this?
02:52Fashion police.
02:56Can you imagine if Leonardo da Vinci had Instagram back in the day?
03:01He would've surely insta-documented his journey painting his most famous artwork.
03:06Check out his latest pic.
03:08He's standing in front of the Mona Lisa, holding a weird-looking paintbrush, covering Mona
03:13Lisa's entire body on the canvas.
03:15His caption?
03:17When your brush matches your creativity, but you're merely working on a portrait.
03:22Artist problems.
03:26I'm sure Albert Einstein wouldn't post as much.
03:29But he'd surely have a lot of followers patiently waiting for him to share a snap.
03:35The latest photo in his feed shows him sitting at his desk covered in papers.
03:40There's a chalkboard with equations in the background.
03:43His iconic hair is even more frizzy than usual, looking like it's been statically charged.
03:49The caption is equally as hilarious.
03:52Then you've been working so hard, your hair starts to think it's a lighting bolt.
03:56Hashtag bad hair day.
04:01Next up, dear old William Shakespeare.
04:05He'd surely spend a lot less time on his selfie game and a lot more time meticulously
04:09writing his captions.
04:11His latest post?
04:12A candid shot of the famous author, feather quill in hand, dramatically posing with a
04:17piece of parchment.
04:19But he's accidentally written on his own hand instead.
04:22Told you the caption was good.
04:24When the quill has a will of its own.
04:27Is this a parchment I see before me?
04:29No, it's just my hand.
04:31Hashtag writer's block.
04:34Let's go even further back in time.
04:38Would our human cousins, the Neanderthals, use Instagram?
04:42They sure would.
04:43Here's what one post would look like.
04:46A Neanderthal is chilling in a cave with a piece of charcoal in hand, about to draw on
04:51the wall.
04:52Care for a prehistoric caption sample?
04:55Getting ready for my daily cave art session, although this piece of charcoal has a mind
05:00of its own.
05:01Hope I don't accidentally invent abstract art.
05:04Hashtag prehistoric Picasso.
05:07People living in the Stone Age surely had a great sense of humor.
05:11Here's one snapshot from a random Stone Age Instagram feed.
05:15As you can see, this person is trying to start a fire with a large, overly dramatic stack
05:20of kindling that towers over them.
05:23The caption?
05:24You know what they say, the bigger the flame, the bigger the fame.
05:28Now if only I could remember how to do this.
05:31Anyone have a match?
05:33Hashtag Stone Age struggles.
05:38Ancient Greece, the Land of Philosophers, the Olympic Games, and a whole lot of olive
05:43oil.
05:45Take this random post from an ancient Greek Instagram feed.
05:49It's a person trying to wrap themselves in a toga, but it's so long, it's wrapping
05:54around them multiple times and tangling.
05:56The photo is followed by an equally amusing caption.
06:00Preparing for today's symposium, but this toga isn't cooperating.
06:05Is there such a thing as too much drapery?
06:08Can't tell if I'm going for an esteemed citizen or toga mummy look.
06:12Hashtag fashion fails.
06:14Hashtag ancient Greek life.
06:17The Middle Ages would've been a great time to document through pictures, with so many
06:21things going on with those kings, queens, and princesses.
06:25An Instagram photo from the Middle Ages would most likely show a candid shot of a person
06:30in full plate armor, but trying to eat a large turkey leg.
06:34Alas, they can't reach their mouth because of the helmet.
06:37What would the caption say, you ask?
06:39Feasting at the royal banquet tonight, but first, does anyone know how to lift the visor
06:44on this thing?
06:45These turkey legs aren't going to eat themselves.
06:48Hashtag nightlife.
06:50Hashtag medieval munchies.
06:53The Industrial Revolution was anything but a smooth ride.
06:57People had to adapt to so many new changes, including the fancy new machinery they had
07:01to work with.
07:02This next Instagram post will surely give you the right vibe.
07:07Here's a person standing in front of a newfangled factory machine that's producing a laughable
07:12amount of smoke.
07:13They're holding a small manual titled, How to operate your steam engine, looking extremely
07:18confused.
07:20The funny caption completes the look.
07:22Day one with the new steam engine.
07:24It's either working perfectly or about to explode.
07:27Hard to tell.
07:28If you don't hear from me, send a mechanic or a fire brigade.
07:32Hashtag industrial revolution.
07:34Hashtag smoke signals.
07:38Would Sherlock Holmes have an Instagram account?
07:40Sure, he wasn't a real person, but it's fun to imagine what his feed would look like.
07:46His most recent photo could be an image of him in his study, magnifying glass in hand.
07:51However, he's not inspecting a piece of evidence, but rather examining a cup of tea.
07:56The search never stops, not even in his captions.
08:00Even the simplest tea holds a mystery to be unfolded.
08:04Is it Earl Grey or English breakfast?
08:06The art of deduction never takes a break, my dear friends.
08:10Not even for a cuppa.
08:12Hashtag Sherlock Diaries.
08:14Hashtag Tea Time Mysteries.
08:17Pretty little Cinderella would surely have quite the photo collection on her feed too.
08:22Here's her latest post.
08:24She's trying to balance a pumpkin on her head with a broom in one hand, but she's
08:28looking a bit frazzled.
08:30Thankfully, she described the whole shenanigans in the caption,
08:33When the fairy godmother is out of town and you've got to DIY the magic.
08:39Not sure if I'm going to end up with a carriage or a pumpkin pie on my head.
08:43Wish me luck!
08:45Hashtag Cinderella Chronicles.
08:47Hashtag Pumpkinhead.
08:49Would Little Pinocchio have an Instagram account too?
08:53Sure he would!
08:54And here's his latest post.
08:56As you can see, he's trying to read a book, but his growing nose is in the way, pushing
09:01the book further out of reach.
09:03Under the picture, you can read,
09:05Literature time becomes a bit challenging when your nose decides to grow faster than
09:09your reading speed.
09:11How do you like my unique bookmark though?
09:14Hashtag Pinocchio problems.
09:16Hashtag growing pains.
09:20That's it for today!
