The saddest part to me about time capsule videos like this is just knowing that all of these people likely had all sorts of experiences and life stories to tell, but it's all just gone now. Trying to identify any of these people is probably impossible, and at best they're remembered vaguely by their descendants. It's why I think looking at history is just sad because the further back you go the less we see, and there were probably many great everyday people in the different eras who are just forgotten forever. Only semi-good thing for our time period is that the internet can easily archive all sorts of events and people, which should outlast us assuming nothing disastrous happens that causes the internet to either mass-lose data or just straight up hard-reset. Like even here on youtube you can watch videos from like 10-14 years ago with similarly aged comments, which is pretty wild itself.

[@scottjanssen65]

I've recently been thinking about human lifespans and how they can overlap and bridge long periods of history. For example, I was born in 1960. When I was 5, we had a neighbor couple who were in their mid-80's. I remember them well. So they were born around 1880. If they knew someone who was in their 80's when they were kids, that someone would have been born in the late 1700's. So I knew people who knew people who were born in the 1700's. Really trippy. I saw a video here on KZbin that showed some of the earliest photographs of people ever taken, which were in the 1840's. There was a very old woman in one of the photos who was born around the 1740's. She was alive at the same time as J.S. Bach, and the American Revolution happened when she was nearly middle-aged. The last Civil War veteran died the year before I was born. That also seems hard to believe to me. I've enjoyed talking to elderly people my entire life because their stories of the past are like experiencing history nearly first hand. Really looking forward to watching this video in a few moments because I've wondered how people were different back then. Did they walk differently? We've all seen the social customs of the Victorian era portrayed in films, but are those portrayals accurate? Did strangers tip their hats at one another in passing on the street, or is that just a product of Hollywood? This video is about as close to a time machine as we're likely to get. Thank you for putting this together.

It was a pleasant comment to read thank you. I often think about those things aswell.

[@scottjanssen65]

@@LeBonRoiLouis Yeah, it's really kind of wild to think about. When I was younger, my grandmother's. husband (she'd remarried after my grandfather died) told me that someone in his family (his mother or aunt or something) had come across the great plains to California in a covered wagon in the 1880's, and flew back to the east coast on a commercial airliner (probably a DC3) as an old woman. I'm not convinced that his story was true, but I imagine it probably was true for someone out there. If you ever want to see a really fun but also poignant film about this sort of thing, check out Little Big Man, starring a very young Dustin Hoffman. I think it was made in 1970. It's a fictional account of a guy who starts out crossing the great plains in a covered wagon in the mid 19th century and lives to be over 100. He meets all sorts of historical figures along the way. One of my favorite films.

@@SonRaySinTv these old clips and everything until digital cameras became popular not that long ago have been recorded on film which has tremendous resolution. Theoretically, film still has superior resolution to digital cameras even today therefore old even very old footage can look sharp. As for security cameras, its mostly the case of storage. Even small shops have like a dozen of the things and they record 24/7. They are obviously keeping previous days/months/weeks footage as well. If cameras were high res, they would need a ridiculous amount of storage. You can work around that though and modern security cameras have a decent amount of zoom to get close up details but thats not always the case and we see lots of use of cheap old cameras that deliver relatively useless footage.

The Kennedy killing, the Titanic, the Bermuda Triangle mysteries, and countless others. Wow, I can hardly wait!

rylog8 those suits weren’t “fancy” that’s really how people dressed back then. We practically go about in pajamas comparatively. The tuxedo, or something with tails that looked like the modern tuxedo, would be fancy. Look at the discoloring at the knees on some of the London suits; these are some of the only suits that were owned and worn frequently. And, keep in mind very wealthy Europeans probably wouldn’t be on the street. Film was seen as a low, common amusement as well. In America, wealthy WASPs couldn’t see the value of investment in the film industry because it was “low and common,” but many Jewish entrepreneurs disagreed. That is why old Hollywood had so many Jewish studio heads like Mayer and Thalberg.

Great observation! Behind the primitive cameras of those days, there already was lurking the Internet. The lenses were much deeper, so to speak, than even the film crews will have been aware of. Nonetheless, that sort of a process for certain is only the beginning. I predict a soon advent of methods with the help of which you even will become able to reconstruct what people have seen thousands of years ago. Not only will it become possible to screen the brains of living individuals for visual remembrances from earlier incarnations (under hypnosis). You also can develop algorithms for a corresponding analysis of the reactions of people of today to visual stimuli. After all, such reactions are connected with the _speech_ in our consciousness. With better computers than the ones of now, you'll manage to reconstruct what people have _spoken,_ in the past, on a basis of acoustic residues in the usage of languages of today. Having arrived at an exact result for what and how a person has been talking, say, on the 1st of January of A.D. 100, it must become feasible to deduce from such a result also what such a person has perceived with his or her _eyes._ Of course, you'll object that there may have happened too many imponderable things for such a success, between then and now. Such an obstacle can be tackled via a specification of _categories_ of what people have been talking about. There may have happened many imponderable weather events or other coincidences, but certain basic, biologically engrained patterns of talking and thinking remain stable over a long time. Central words like, say, "mother" (or, in Latin, "mater"), "Italia", "Roma", etc. are especially stable and can be used as starting points. The movements of our eyes themselves, too, depend on a certain training, on certain culturally determined parameters. If you combine insights from the fields of conventional archaeology, linguistics, and paleoclimatology with models based on such analyses, you stepwise should become able to arrive at first blurred, but after a while, ever sharper pictures.

I agree with Michelle, even though there were extremely hard times back then (lets face it some poor kids and folks are getting the living daylights blown out of them today) the overall feeling is that it is more naive and simple, people are walking straight like it is good to be alive, we dont realise how far we have come away from our true nature. We do have comfort but we have become addicted to technology, it is running us, and that is reflected in our children, we now think that the heart is just a pump, we have forgotten that it is our home and we now think that the brain is our home instead of it being a tool. We do not know ourselves, the media thinks for us and dictates how we should be, Orwell's 1984 is sadly becoming a reality.

I don't find this depressing at all like so many others. And I disagree about the music not being suitable, I think it gives it a dreamy, modern and still somewhat timeless feel, especially when it kicks in on "Britain" and going up that roller coaster, I can almost feel the movement. Love it.

[@elia.8993]

Agreed!!

[@TheSCPStudio]

If anyone is bitching about the music, just fucking mute it and play your own song lmao. There's no audio in the recordings anyway.

[@ProfRavenSteel]

@@TheSCPStudio dude I love the music.

[@TravelerVolkriin]

The music is insanely good. Poignant, futuristic, all-encompassing, mysterious, and thought-provoking. I downloaded the first song. 😍

[@rachelslocombe8507]

I think the music goes with it perfectly, you’re right in saying it gives a timeless quality, makes you feel kind of connected to those people.

I am from Tokyo, and Tokyo differs from other cities. I am envious of Westan's history and culture. I live in Vienna right now, and the history and culture in this city is fantastic!

For those saying that this footage is better quality than modern day medium, remember that these videos are enhanced. No way it looked this good 100+ years ago.

1900 electrical grid vs 2020 bascially similiar. Cars, combustion engine so similiar. Modern housing construction sucks. Food quality was better back then, etc etc.

Progression in today's society is exponential. We just need to know if humanity will last 100 years longer.

[@Alex-02]

Oliver Cairn It’s always been exponential, we’ve just come to the point we’re it’s starting to go really fast. (Exponential can be really slow sometimes too)
