I would re-type that as Is time travel real? The unexplained pictures that shouldn't show smartphones - but "do", of course.

A painting from the 1850s has gone viral, after an eagle-eyed art lover spotted what appeared to be an iPhone. The Waldmüller painting, housed at the Neue Pinakothek museum in Munich, was snapped by Peter Russell of Glasgow. 'Just like her on the dating app in Walmüller's Die Erwartete' he tweeted.

It's not the first time that an iPhone has been 'spotted' in a picture, painting or piece of film from days gone by. Here, Telegraph Women presents the evidence for time travel...

Tim Cook highlighted this 1670 painting last year, after spotting what looks like an iPhone. The Apple boss told a tech event in Amsterdam, "I always thought I knew when the iPhone was invented, but now I'm not so sure!" The painting, the snappily titled 'Man Handing a Letter to a Woman in the Entrance Hall of a House' by Pieter de Hooch, actually shows a man holding a letter (the clue is in the name).

In 2016, eagle-eyed viewers spotted what they claim is evidence the camera phone was invented long before the year 2000. This footage of a Mike Tyson boxing match from 1995 shows what appears to be a person in the crowd filming on smartphone. Conspiracy theorists cite the position of the lens - in the top corner - as odd, as cameras in the Nineties had their lenses in the centre. The fight - against Peter McNeeley in Las Vegas - was the highest grossing in history, but it might now go down in history for other reasons.

This Greek gravestone from 100BCE appears to show an ancient stone laptop with two USB ports. The carving, which resides in the J. Paul Getty Museum in California, is a funeral marker - depicting the deceased in a domestic scene. Which, as any self-respecting modern woman knows - includes checking Instagram. Sceptics say the object is, in fact, a shallow chest, but the Internet was divided over one question - "Mac or PC?".

There appears to be a Native American checking his Facebook in this 1937 mural 'Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield'. The Italian semi-abstract painter, Umberto Romano, painted a scene which was based loosely on actual events that occurred around a pre-Revolutionary War encounter between members of two prominent New England tribes, and English settlers in present-day Massachusetts in the 1630s, about 200 years before the advent of electricity.

In 2010, the Internet exploded with theories after George Clarke, in Belfast, posted this video (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/8093913/Charlie-Chaplin-time-traveller-spotted-in-old-film.html) on YouTube - in which he claimed to spot a woman using a mobile phone, 50 years before they were invented. The clip, from Charlie Chaplin's 1928 film The Circus, shows a woman walks past holding her left hand to the side of her face while moving her lips. Theories ranged from the woman holding a block of ice to take away the pain of a dental appointment, to the clip itself being fake.

Footage of this woman seemingly using a mobile phone in 1930s has been viewed on YouTube 350,000 times. The black and white clip of a young woman, seemingly speaking into a phone, before lowering her arm, was first spotted in 2012. In 2013, a YouTube user (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2301996/Was-worlds-mobile-phone-1938-film-shows-woman-talking-wireless-device-time-travel-family-say-disappointment-conspiracy-theorists.html) claimed the woman was his grandmother, then aged 17, who was trialling a wireless phone prototype at a communications factory in Massachusetts.

Those ancient Greeks really were ahead of their time. This vase by painter Douris from about 500BCE, appears to show a man using a laptop with a stylus. Historians have suggested he was probably writing on a wax tablet, rather than using Microsoft Paint.

For reasons beyond me, this article is under "Women" and "life". Give me your (conspiracy) theories!

I saw the first one on jew post (from another post I just made). Before I got to the youtube video lower down the page, I said it was a prayer book, which the title of the video says it is. I searched for another of these types of paintings which this jew post page mentioned, then I found this article by the Telegraph.

Most of these are not time travel (if any "are") because most of them are artworks. :roll: The one with the boxing match - who wraps their hands and fingers around a phone and holds it at such an angle? It would be hard/uncomfortable on the wrist and that would make it difficult to hold the phone steadily, not to mention it is at eye-height, as if she is looking through it like a lens; you don't have your face that close to phone screens, because you wouldn't be able to see what you're recording - and if you decided to, like a little Child might do, then you'd have like double-vision - one from the screen/lens and the other from your actual sight.

As for the Greek one, so presumably also the Egyptian one, "wItH a StYlUs"... again before I read what the text said, I remembered learning in primary school about those wax tablets which they used with a stabby stick to write on them, which also had a flat edge at the other end to re-smooth the wax. It may have been called a stylus. The one with the Child showing the Woman could have been homework or a poem for Mummy, or a joke to give to Daddy - the shopping list! The Greek one might be a classroom wax tablet, and teacher is checking... The Boy could be... who was that Ancient Greek Philosopher or Mathematician?! Look at the proud smile on his face!

It is possible that whomever the artists were had ideas and guessed or knew what was going to happen in the future. The Devil's Trill was Satan-inspired; maybe a Human artist got word of something, or a jew artist, according to its plan, knew what would happen (along with "tHe MaNdElA eFfEcT") to help people be more stupid, saying "it's time-travel!" and encouraging conspiracy theories. Of course, the paintings could have been edited after they were kept out of public view for ages. Like this -

Mr Bean's Holiday.

There's a problem with that theory: books didn't exist in 500 BCE. They only had papyrus scrolls. And codices (precursors of modern books) that were first used in the 2nd century BCE didn't look like modern books at all.

That's how humans hold any rectangular object of that small size to look at it. We are just used to seeing that pose for cell phones now.

However, if these are real, there is another possibility besides time travel. Remember that these are not actual cell phones and laptops from 1000 years ago. They are depictions. The artists might have been spiritually advanced enough to see the future. And many of the greatest artists, like Leonardo da Vinci were very advanced.

(Only the video of the woman cannot be explained this way. I suspect it is fake, or just a weird coincidence. Just look at how many views it got. That's motivation enough to fake it.)
