History books often reduce world-changing events to dates, statistics, and broad outcomes. We read about revolutions and scientific breakthroughs without picturing the actual people involved. The individuals who lived through these moments had their own dreams, fears, and daily routines—just like us.
History Addicts, a popular Facebook page, uncovers this human element of our past. From old-school buses to rare artifacts, they offer a glimpse into the past that feels surprisingly close. These visual time capsules connect us emotionally to our ancestors and help us understand that people throughout history weren't so different from ourselves after all.
