  1. All these people are already dead and probably the majority totally forgotten by their living descendants who have not come to know them. How will happen to us. Sad.

  2. I can see a lot of fog caused probably by air polution. Chimney in the city are smoking a lot.
    Thanks for sharing this video. I like history :).

  3. Time flies by so quick and so does our time here on earth. These videos make me feel so sad, all of these lives are preserved through these videos but they are now no longer physically here with us. In these videos are people, ordinary people just like u and me. People who are enjoying their life and living in the moment; breathing,alive people who probably didn’t even imagine what the world would be like in 100+ years later. To them, this old-fashioned life was their normal life and they thought that it was the most modern, these people who are now dead probably didn’t even imagine a day where they would cease to exist. You see tho, imo pictures and videos are a beautiful invention, even after u pass there will always be a picture or video left behind capturing ur most precious memories and emotions from when you were alive. It’s like ur still alive but really not. R.I.P to all of these people, it’s sad to think about how everyone there are now gone. They seem so alive in these videos.
