"It is a mistake to think that the past is dead. Nothing that has ever happened is quite without influence at this moment," said Will Durant, a famous American writer and historian, and we have no doubt that he’s right. Since great importance can be ascribed to mankind's past, it is always fascinating to look at historical images and think about the changes, small and large, that have occurred in our lives and in the world since they were taken. The 16 historical pictures before you are exactly like this - some of them tell a great historical story, some of them present small moments of everyday life of people around the world, but all of them together will create in you a nostalgic longing for the past, along with thoughts about the reality we live in today and the future to come.
