It’s virtually impossible to feel how fast time flies until it passes right behind us, leaving the sense it was only yesterday we had our first day at school or said ‘I Do’. Present moments sneakily turn into memories, and it’s a never-ending cycle.

But thanks to the invention of photography and people who stood behind the lens, not everything gets lost in history. People, places, events that happened years, decades and hundreds of years ago are all made immortal by the camera.

One such mesmerizing gallery is curated by the Lost In History Twitter account dedicated to sharing photos that they say “throw light on our past.” Below, we selected some of the most incredible and interesting photos shared there, so pull your seat closer!

    I read a lot of mystery books about the Orient Express, and it is described as very luxurious and beautiful. I can see now why

    The part in Schindlers List which upsets me the most is when they are told to carefully write their names on their suitcases as they will get them back when they get off the train. You then see the suitcases being brought to the sorting areas and the contents being put into various piles like this. The fact that they gave these prisoners a glimer of hope (that their possessions would be returned to them) while knowing what was in store for them is just heartbreaking 😥

    TIL goats like bananas. Looked into it, and in addition to hay and grains, I learned they also eat "foods like fruits, dried fruits, veggies, graham crackers, cheerios, Cheetos, and even corn chips."

    Looks like a house I grew up in, in Florida. Mortgage was $63 a month. Mom worked a full time and a part-time job, my dad was a lineman for the county. 950 square feet, linoleum floors, 1 very pink and black bathroom for the 5 of us, and murderous jalousie windows. No a/c. That house is now listed for $220, 000. Not worth it.

    Did you know that the Golden Gate Bridge must be repainted every five years to prevent rust? But it takes five years to paint the entire bridge from end to end, so the painters, when they finish, have to cycle back to the beginning and start all over again. It's a neverending job. Talk about your job security!

    The Eiffel Tower was supposed to have walls and everything but they stopped after buildilng the skeleton. Also everyone hated it when it was first built. I think they were right tbh.
