FunTranscript
00:00An ancient painting from the 1860s has a little surprise that will make you giggle.
00:06There's this lady walking with her eyes glued to something.
00:09Does she have her head buried in a phone?
00:11It's hilarious how things haven't changed much.
00:14Except for the old-timey clothes she's wearing.
00:17This discovery went viral when some sharp-eyed visitors spotted it in a museum in Munich.
00:23The painting in question is The Expected One by Ferdinand George Waldmuller.
00:29Turns out she's not a time-traveling fashionista.
00:32She's just lost in the world of hymns and prayers, according to the gallery.
00:36Yep, she's engrossed in a good old hymn book, not Facebook.
00:40Back in the day, around 1850 or 1860, every single person who laid eyes on this painting
00:46would have instantly recognized that she was all caught up in a hymnal or prayer book.
00:52But today, let's be real, we compare it to a phone.
00:56Now we're about to embark on a journey through time and fashion.
01:00In 2011, the internet exploded with excitement over a mind-boggling photo from 1941.
01:07What was so special about it, you ask?
01:09Well, it showcased a person dressed in a modern-day fashion.
01:14They called him the time-traveling hipster.
01:17Sleek sunglasses, a cardigan over a sweater, and a hairstyle that screamed,
01:21I've just rolled out of bed.
01:23This guy was the epitome of swag, even in the 40s.
01:26I mean, he would fit right in in the streets of LA today.
01:30But here's where Einstein's theory of space and time come into play.
01:35Our inability to teleport ourselves across eras keeps us guessing about this mysterious
01:40man.
01:41The most amazing thing, though, is that his clothes are actually quite fitting for his
01:45era too.
01:47Those wraparound sunglasses he sported?
01:50There were all the rage in the 1920s.
01:52Next, his t-shirt proudly flaunted the logo of the Montreal Maroons, a pro hockey team
01:58that graced the ice of the National Hockey League from 1924 to 1938.
02:03While this fashion-forward fellow may seem like a time-traveling trendsetter, his style
02:07was actually on point for 1941.
02:11Now, how about unraveling the secrets of the past with a World Cup moment?
02:16Brazil triumphs over Czechoslovakia in the epic 1962 final.
02:22But forget about the game for a moment, because there's something even juicier at play.
02:27The device in the hands of a photographer.
02:30It seems like this photographer is flaunting a flip phone.
02:34Obviously, flip phones didn't hit the market until 1996, and they didn't become all the
02:39rage until the mid-2000s.
02:41It's as if this time-traveler is rocking a timepiece from 2007, back when the mighty
02:47Motorola RAZR ruled the world.
02:50If you look closely, you'll see that this device is none other than a good old box camera.
02:55You can operate those with one hand, making them a go-to for capturing timeless moments.
03:01And if we zoom in on the details, it appears that his camera has a fancy attachment fixed
03:06on top.
03:07A flashbulb, perhaps?
03:09So as much as we'd love to believe in time-traveling paparazzi, it seems like we've stumbled upon
03:14a delightful case of mistaken identity.
03:19Is it just me, or is this ancient Greek statue showing a laptop with USB ports?
03:25So here's the scoop.
03:27This statue is called Grave Neskos of an Enthroned Woman with an Attendant, and it's causing
03:32quite a stir.
03:34Some people are convinced that this ancient artwork is a legit time-traveling laptop.
03:40This statue, displayed in the J. Paul Getty Museum in California, was originally used
03:45as a funeral marker way back in 100 BCE.
03:49It stands a little over 37 inches tall and showcases a woman chilling on a throne-like
03:54chair while a young servant holds open a slender box for her inspection.
03:59Sounds pretty normal, right?
04:01But the internet was buzzing with speculation and wild theories about ancient Greeks with
04:06secret laptops.
04:08Brace yourselves for the jaw-dropping revelation behind the 800-year-old mobile phone that's
04:14been causing a debate.
04:16An image surfaced online, claiming to show an ancient mobile phone dug up by archaeologists.
04:23That ancient tablet was claimed to date back to the 13th century BCE.
04:28By that time, the Sumerian writing style had been around for ages.
04:33Let's not forget that cuneiform tablets are as common as pigeons in the city.
04:37An estimated 2 million of these tablets have been unearthed.
04:41The language was a real head-scratcher until the 19th century, when scholars cracked its
04:46code.
04:48Cuneiform was the writing system developed by the ancient Sumerians way back in 3500-3000
04:54BCE.
04:55They were the original wordsmiths, paving the way for all the future Shakespeare's.
05:01This whole story, too, turned out to be a hoax.
05:04Babylonokia is actually an artwork from 2012 made by artist Carl Weingarten, who crafted
05:11a clay tablet that looked like a time-traveling mobile phone.
05:15So it was a modern-day artwork covered with ancient script.
05:19But hey, let's keep searching for those hidden secrets of the past.
05:22A couple of years ago, archaeologists went digging in Mongolia and stumbled upon an ancient
05:28mummy.
05:30Experts noticed something peculiar about her footwear.
05:33They screamed Adidas trainers.
05:35Did this ancient lady have a penchant for sporty kicks?
05:39They examined the body and estimated it to be 1,100 years old.
05:44It turns out our funky footwear-loving mummy was most likely a Turkic seamstress.
05:50Perhaps those shoes were part of her work attire, keeping her stylish while stitching
05:54up a storm.
05:56She also had a whole treasure trove of ancient goodies with her.
06:00We're talking about an ancient clutch bag, a mirror, a comb, and more.
06:06There was one thing missing, a cell phone.
06:09It seems our time-traveling dreams will have to wait for another day.
06:13So my fellow adventurers, while the Adidas-esque footwear raised some eyebrows, it turns out
06:18our mummy friend was just a fashionable seamstress strutting her stuff in ancient times.
06:24A photo from over a hundred years ago features a group of suave Canadians lounging on a scenic
06:31hillside.
06:32But wait, there's our star attraction!
06:34A young man flaunting an outfit straight out of a tropical paradise.
06:39Picture this, a snazzy t-shirt, shorts that scream beach vibes, and a head of hair that's
06:45definitely seen better days.
06:47Who knew time travel came with a dress code?
06:51Some say the woman on the right is pointing in disbelief, while others claim everyone's
06:55faces are frozen in sheer astonishment.
06:59Would a genuine time traveler actually cruise through the ages dressed like a misplaced
07:03beach bum?
07:04So while we soak up the excitement of this eyebrow-raising enigma, let's remember that
07:09fashion choices can be as unpredictable as the time-space continuum.
07:15What if we set aside time traveling and took a look at the images of people doing modern
07:19things a century ago?
07:22Feast your eyes on old snapshots.
07:24For example, take a look at these people on a roller coaster.
07:28I guess they were into amusement parks too.
07:31Now look at this gentleman with his pair of roller skates.
07:36Next up, we have photos where people pose with goofy faces.
07:40It's nice that it's not just us modern-day people who want to mock each other.
07:44Shall we dive into a 1915 photo showing us a deep-sea dive?
07:50People just don't wake up one day and decide to dive into the waters.
07:53They learned it over time.
07:56We didn't invent the group selfie.
07:58People have been taking selfies since the early days of photography.
08:01Do you think we'll ever be able to invent a time machine one day?
08:06That's it for today.
08:07So hey, if you pacified your curiosity, then give the video a like and share it with your
