none of these people would have imagined that 130 years later we would be seeing them on CZcams. With the colorized and remastered images they look so close.
Yes, it's also sad to think that none of these people still alive to see it.
Yeah i was thinking about that. Even the wee babies.
yes.....too much emotions!
We relate to something when it looks real and this looks real. Too real for comfort.
Where are these people now?
The snowball fight was absolutely amazing. Genuine, pure fun from such a long time ago
the guy on the bike got involved too what a laugh people had unlike today that guy on a bike now would probably sue
People have the illusion people did not have fun back in the day. I would say opposite is true. They drank a lot and partied and celebrated all the time.
It really is an amazing moment in time, these adults just going at it in a snowball fight, really brings a smile to my face. Our culture is getting more and more self centered, more isolated. I truly think we all long deep down for connections like that.
@@user-en9qd5nx8w have a close look at the building. No way they could of build that , with horses waggon😮
@@user-en9qd5nx8w yep social media is making everyone anti-social
The clip in Vietnam with the ladies throwing food to the children like ducks is heartbreaking in a way.
she was throwing money at the children, not food...
It honestly made me a bit mad.
История такая какая она есть. Стоит только это принять.
@@thegamingwartroll648 Back in the early 1970's , as a young teen, my family would take a trip down to NYC for a weekend a few times a year. One highlight for me was when Dad would give me a handful of change. There was a scenic spot in Central park, where stood a decorative arched stone bridge over part of a reflecting pond. This was a favorite spot for wino's to congregate . Locals and tourists alike would go up upon the arch bridge and toss down nickels, dimes and quarters. The wino's , with great aplomb, relish and glee would battle each other to pounce upon the coins, scooping them up, lunging for the loot with a gusto that would put a Wall Street broker to shame. It would be like a WWE battle royale if the flow of coins were coming down quickly. We and many others would do this in opposed to tossing coins in a fountain. Were the wino's offended...NO. They loved it and relied upon it. We who tossed the coins did so out of both charity and a desire to see "reality entertainment" before it became a staple of network tv as this was live, unscripted, and as real as the grime on the underside of a New Yorker's shoe. Those winos and no doubt some junkies , bless their hearts, they weren't just recipients of random acts of kindness; they were the stars of an impromptu show, a melee of merriment that needed no script, only a handful of change and the motivation of a fresh jug of vino at the end of the rainbow.
Wouldn't it be grand if the fentanyl junkies and meth heads of today performed a public service as means to feed their addiction in opposed to committing crimes and relying on taxpayer subsides ?
Do we have more info on the context? Were those children really in desperate need for food or was this all in a playful spirit? no different from when at kids' birthday parties they'd beat a dangling container with a stick until it'd break and sweets would spill all over the floor for the kids to rush to and grab as many as they can? no?
Yes, they were throwing it on the ground, and we're appalled by this, but that's 1896 and The Bible speaks of manna falling from the skies and being collected by the starving children of God, and it's in 55 years' time that people would be having 'pesticide bathing' parties, no?
I got tears from knowing that completely everyone is already gone..
💀
they would only see what a rotten and corrupt place the world has become..
Wasn't it always?
Not a single person from these footages are present today, but their legacy is lived on through these films.
Through AI generated fake content, I'm sure they'd be so chuffed

1:27 Naw fake news, they are alive
Each of these people had dreams, fears, longings. They all lived their lives, some better than others, some longer, some shorter. So many souls, and none are alive anymore. Pure goosebumps and humility. Thank you for your effort in sharing this colorized piece of history with us.
none are alive today, but how many were lost much earlier to the trenches or the nazi regime?
I was just about to comment this very exact comment about how everyone you see in this video is now in the afterlife
Many of them probably died in WWI.
Actually they were all racists and would hate todays world. But good job trying to cover for them.
Very eloquently said what I was going to say. Thank you.
All those people that looked at the camera had no idea that on the other side of that lens would be millions of people from the future looking back at them.
Many people comment on the fact that the people in this film are now dead. But truth is that these people's spirits are fully alive! Only their bodies have died. And one day their creator - God, will resurrect their bodies to be rejoined with their spirits. Then all people will either live eternally in heaven or die eternally in hell.
All humans face the same physical fate of death here on earth. Thing is, we choose where we will live for eternity.
Please put your trust in God the Son - Jesus. For he left his home in the heavenly realms to be born by a virgin mother into a human body. And as fully God and yet fully man Jesus lived a sinless life. Because he did not sin his death & shed blood was a sufficient sacrifice for all of mankind's sins! As John 3:16 states:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
So now all one needs to do is believe in your heart & confess with your mouth "because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved."
Romans 10:9-10
I hopefully pray that all who read these words will choose to live eternally with my Lord & Savior, the Christ Jesus!

The guys greeting at 4:05 really got to me. If only they knew that they were actually greeting millions of people 130 years in the future.
I js imagined that and it is mindblowing to think abt it if u were them
The women throwing food(?) to the Vietnamese children like they were pigeons was certainly eye opening
It was probably candy that they were tossing to the children.
@@shabbysnubtide3339I thought the same. Still a sad look, how they looked depraved of basic human needs
Sometimes these silent videos can teach us a lot than those billion dollar franchises cannot.
Like kids wanting to get their face on camera is not new at all.
amen. No automobiles, no cell phones, lots of walking, street cars, horse & buggy, Thanks to God to see all those ancestors. Heartwarming.

These images were filmed while France perpetrated the most horrific genocide in history In Algeria, more than 13 million Algerians were killed by the French.
Filming 128 years ago !
This video deserves a spot in CZcams hall of fame
Yes!!!
I'm sorry, but I don't get the enthusiasm in the comments. The quality of this colorization is abysmal. It's so bad that it's distracting. Vast sections of almost every scene are unfinished, there's people with gray faces everywhere, clothing keeps changing color, and bits of color keep leaking into other parts of the image. It's just terrible, especially in fast moving scenes.
What's even worse is that the colors are very bleak and uniform. All the clothes and all the buildings around the globe appear to have had the same dull color scheme, even when people were wearing traditional costumes.
This does not add any value to the original footage.
@@looks-suspicious You do better
@@looks-suspicious cry harder
@looks-suspicious you know hard it is to make a video like this as a private person?
They become so much more real. It stops being old video of entities that vaguely look like blurry people and becomes a window to humanity from over a century ago. So well done!

Right? 🙂
I've seen them goofing and it made me smile.
Just like modern kids. I dunno why I am shocked lmao.
that's actually my grandpa, his name is Moshe
Every time I see old footage like that I start thinking "they were, they were young, cheerful, playful and we don't even see them get old, they're just gone. Even the children. How many times their descendants had children, how many even survived the great challenges of time and we won't know."
Life really is short and we're bickering about small things throwing it away.
I think about that too. So much time has passed within each individual persons life we saw. Just think about the sheer total amount of time spent by each person doing nothing, just...staring at the ceiling in bed thinking about what they were going to do that day. DECADES were spent doing this collectively between all these people and yet after they were dead, even more time passed. Like so much more time.
I feel old at 32 with all the nothing days I've had and weekends where I just lazed around. Multiply that by billions of people over 130 years...The amount of time that passes where nothing happens to a person is truly unfathomable.
So? Barely anyone knows the child version of me, and I'm still alive in my 20s. No shit no ones gonna remember that 13 decades later
@@bazookabullet101you have a point! Who Gives a shit about some kid who appeared in some random video?
In fact, given that it was captured on film in 1896, one could have conversed with individuals who experienced those times, or at the very least, with someone acquainted with such persons. This period is not as distant as we might think. To cite a particularly remarkable example, Jeanne Calment, who was born in 1875, lived until 1997.
@@LusyphelI too think 1997 is only 5 years ago.

simplest time back then..no heavy traffic..people walking in relax mode with so much time to spare
I’m so used to seeing old black and white footage of early film as grainy and jerky, that to see it so clearly and smoothly in colour makes me feel like I’m looking at the past through an actual window. You’ve done important and amazing work to bring it all to life for the modern world and for future generations to see. Thank you very much for this.
The snowball fight draws me in like a beautiful painting and puts me in their moment. I've seen it many times before and never grow tired of watching them.
This video genuinely made me cry, just from thinking of those people looking at the camera, who are all dead now. They never imagined that we would be looking back at them 130 years later.
We are gonna be dead sometime but u need to live happy and with god :)
@@novicatodosijevic4174 Amen brother.

I was tripping on that too. Like even the youngest kids in this video likely died 60 to 70 years ago, some before that even.
Knowing that none of them are here today is heavy....
Really makes you pause for a brief moment to understand that our time also has an end, and it's important to enjoy even the simplest of things. The air, colors, people's smiles, and more.
Someone 130 years from now will see us as memory pieces.
There won't be any people 130-years from now thanks to climate change. Man won't even make it to 2050. How can people just pretend like it's all going to be OK!?!?

@@timothywyatt72 Yeah, they believed lots of wacky shit back in the day - look at all of their imaginary friends. With science we know this world will never end and will even survive the inevitable nuclear holocaust. The odds on human life enduring another 100 years? Odds are slim.
crying, absolutely speechless. so many people, from so many different places, all with different upbringings, dreams, fears, longings, memories, all have a different story. yet not a single one of them is around today…
none of them could have ever imagined the world the way it is today, and that so many of us can just watch pieces of history on a handheld device that allows us to communicate, explore & learn endlessly. i just feel so grateful to be able to witness all this.
thanks for reminding me that our time here is finite, thus we should live life to the fullest. cuz in just a mere 100 years, we will be nothing but footage of the past, just like these folk.
pure goosebumps & humility.
so very true.!
That's the reality.
Ecclesiastes 3:15
What is happening now has happened before, and what will happen in the future has happened before, because God makes the same things happen over and over again
Well said!
R.I.P.
what makes me sad is that the WW1 would happen in 20 years, and WW2 in 50 years.
The young lads in the video could have seen both of them, and the buildings could have been destroyed by war.
This is beautifully remastered footage. It's so incredible to have a window into the past like this, and to get to glimpse into the world of our forefathers. The people, the architecture, the attire, the horses and carriages... It's like looking into a totally different world from the one we live in today. No doubt the lives of everyday people in this video were in many ways more complex and difficult than our own lives with all the modern amenities that we don't even think about, but in so many more ways their lives were so much simpler. There is something that you can see in these videos that feels so right and natural. I don't know what it is, but it's something that we have lost to time. Perhaps its dignity. Perhaps it's true joy. Maybe it's a connection to the earth. It's definitely part human connection. I think its many things combined. I am no history major, but I do know that this footage was filmed before the first world war. I think the two world wars really did a huge amount of global generational trauma, and the more and more advanced that we got, the more the world delved into chaos, unrest, and anger. All the tragedies from the far reaches started to make it into individual people's hearts and minds, ironically through the very same technology that brought us this very video. I know that they had newspapers, but back then word didn't travel as fast, and it was so much less intimate to read the facts written on a paper than it is to see the images as if you were there in person. Now days, a missile goes off in Gaza, and the images of the carnage are on your screen before the dust even settles. We have strayed so far from our own humanity, and it seems that things are only getting more and more off the rails with each year. It's not all bad though. In many ways, we have done so much good in this world, and we have come far as a society, but we still have a LONG way to go. I hope that we can find ourselves again one day and bring humanity back together.
Very well said! 👏🏼 But, I fear we're too far off the rail to save humanity's physical lives! But there is hope for their souls:
Many people comment on the fact that the people in this film are now dead. But truth is that these people's spirits are fully alive! Only their bodies have died. And one day their creator - God, will resurrect their bodies to be rejoined with their spirits. Then all people will either live eternally in heaven or die eternally in hell.
All humans face the same physical fate of death here on earth. Thing is, we choose where we will live for eternity.
Please put your trust in God the Son - Jesus. For he left his home in the heavenly realms to be born by a virgin mother into a human body. And as fully God and yet fully man Jesus lived a sinless life. Because he did not sin his death & shed blood was a sufficient sacrifice for all of mankind's sins! As John 3:16 states:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
So now all one needs to do is believe in your heart & confess with your mouth "because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved."
Romans 10:9-10
I hopefully pray that all who read these words will choose to live eternally with my Lord & Savior, the Christ Jesus!
Amazing how seeing people move at the right speed, instantly makes the scene relatable. You see all the little nuances in expression and strides. Could watch these for hours.
В том то и дело, что не смотря на плавность картинки они все равно двигаются ускоренно
its till annoyingly too fast. The only issue left with it, and could easily be fixed by slowing it down 30% and getting Ai to interpolate the frames
Watch it at 0.75 for ~ the right speed.
Its crazy how even after all this time, we still have the same mannerisms. Foot taping, looking back to stare at a camera, hugs from behind, arm swinging, hand holding, slouching. We never change
Human nature
if 100 years fascinating you, try the book Sapiens. we were probably pretty same even before 40 000 years ago. if reading bores you, try audiobook it is very well done.
Not crazy at all human heart does not change. And im not talking literally.
only we don't seem as happy as them despite all we have
It's crazy how people walking around in Jerusalem don't look very jews to me!
Thanks to french Lumière brothers for inventing cinema and documentary. Thanks to you for the colorization and upload ❤
Actually the first movie cam was built in 1888, by Anglo-French inventor Louis Le Prince. The Lumières stand over everyone else for pretty much creating the whole movie industry (!!!) by inventing a system for projecting their films. They made a _bundle_ by exhibiting their films to paying customers.
I loved the part where they filmed people in front of the cinema showing their films!😄
Shows the connection we all share. We find each other so fascinating. Is happy and sad to see these people knowing they're already gone. Life keeps going like we were never here.
When I watched this, I realized that many common things in 'our world' just not happened yet. Technologies like movies, mobile phones, internet, computers, airplanes, sattelites or even cars where not invented yet or at least not common by most people. Events like WW1/WW2, the sinking of the titanic, globalization, the invention of the atomic bomb, space travel, global warming where not happened yet and thus non excisting. The world changed on so many ways, that if one of those people in this video could timetravel to this time, he or she will end up in a whole other world.
this video is truly amazing. It is like a window through the past.
We will have more change in our lives in the time of AI, let's say each 5 years, than they had in their lifetime. The advance in technology is not linear, it is exponential (which is consept wery few will grasp ). Hold on!
@@kimp8079 AI and machine learning is as influential as the wheel. All of human history will be divided into pre-AI and post-AI I've said this for 20 years.
You forgot The Great Replacement
idk. looks pretty much the same to me. instead of hats, we have phones and instead of horses we have cars, but we don't have trains with doors into each cabin any more. people have not changed much in the last 500-200000 years, depending on what you pay attention to. they had global communication and huge cities, which is pretty much status quo. the biggest difference, not captured here is maybe refrigeration, and electricity and the internet... apart from that... planes? everything that's been invented was already predicted 130 years ago. we're not that special. if you put me in the world 130 years from now, i'll be fine, trust me. and so would they.
Global warming is the sole thing already was happening that time, in the same year (1896) they discovered the CO2's effect on global temperature, and in 1902 a scientist said coal combustion will lead to the extinction of humans

As I watched the video, I found myself contemplating the lives of those captured in the recordings. Were they happy or filled with sorrow? Did they live in wealth or struggle with poverty? Each person, I realized, possessed their own unique story, their own ambitions, and perhaps, anxieties that kept them awake at night.
Today, all of that is gone. The people in the recording, or rather, everyone who once walked the earth, are no more. Their stories remain, preserved in these fleeting glimpses, their homes now occupied by strangers, their cherished possessions displayed in museums.
The impermanence of it all is a sobering thought. Our present reality will one day become a memory. Life is fleeting, so let us embrace it fully. Let us strive to make a positive impact, one that will resonate through the ages.

RIght now, I got back/neck pain, a broken laptop (borrowing one now, as I type this) and anxiety and ocd keeping me up (the s key broke off once, and I put it back on, but now pressing it just feels different than pressing literally every other key on it...
To think that people from this long ago probably would have worried about, Idk... one of the wheels falling off on their horse drawn carriage, instead, is a pretty interesting thought, indeed.
Let us strive to make the world better, indeed. For everyone... the world needs more love... Remember the people in need, remember the people who don't have as much... remember the people with autism. (I have it) We often just want friends, and to be understood. Treat people who are different than you kindly. Always important... always important to treat everyone kindly, and make many more good memories to have/keep/preserve.
Love to all who might be reading this!
Peace.
You mean, let us learn about our true existence, which is the worship of the One God, the Eternal, because all those who have gone will return to God Almighty on the Day of Resurrection to hold them accountable. I will bear the gardens of Paradise that believers in the One God bear, and we will send them all. Let us ask one person this question after a long life. What is destiny? Is it eternity in hell or eternity in Paradise?

As a photographer, these images make me cry for the Lumière Brothers. ... If! If they could have seen the future. They would have been crying for joy at the magic that the future has brought to their films. And, It makes me even see the time where these scenes will be fully recreated as if they were shot by the best three-D, fully immersive walk in the past.
"recreated" key word
@@Anonymous-km5pj … But, with the AI being able to see the film, and understand what it is seeing, and then comparing everything, and then stacking all those images, pulling every detail out of the combined data from every single frame, and then republish the film, applying that detail to every single frame. Not only that, the AI will be able to compare how every single grain of silver in the original negative was turned on by looking at where the lights were lighting the scene, and even discern the actual color, and write all that information into very frame. … Not “recreated,” but utilizing everything that the Lumière Brothers captured on film, not from imagination, but from physics and knowledge, and knowing better how to see the film.
This is the closest we can get to a time machine. Thanks YT. Looking back through this is like a magical journey.
Maybe in the future, AI and VR will let us get closer
This is just the beginning, this uncanny looking video will be done correctly in near future, and it will be automated.
@@procactus9109It's not possible to ever do this "correctly", because you're effectively adding fake information that isn't there in the original footage. What colors to choose for what object in the movie is purely based on assumptions and some imagination, but the latter seemingly wasn't used at all in this particular video.
@@looks-suspicious the problem is the colours are shifting hue. That is what I refer to as uncanny... AI is right at the point where it could do this, and it certainly will in near future.
i still wonder how the AI determine the color
could it possibly be just as simple as the shade of gray? like the AI was trained to the Colored footage that was Grayscaled and forced to colorised that footage over and over again until it produce the colormap that was correct with that shade of gray?
It's like these people are living again. This gave me so much joy. Thanks!
This is absolutely amazing, thank you so much 🙏
Watching footage like this always bring tears to my eyes. I'm an avid reader of old travel journals and the places travelers from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries describe is so foreign to me, so magical even, that seeing it in movement and colorised makes my imagination rolling, but also brings a kind of sadness for a world that no longer exists ❤❤

Мне особенно понравилась эта часть. В те времена мир был еще здоров.@@irinmaxatma3786
The ladies throwing coins in Vietnam like they’re feeding pigeons is actually sad…
My Dad told us many times they still did that when he was there during the Vietnam War. It also sickened him! But, he said it was a way of life the Vietnam kids had fully accepted bc they helped feed their families with those coins! They looked at diving to catch & find the coins as "working" for their money...😢
Yeah, I've seen a documentary years ago with this exact video. It was entertainment for the rich society. Very sad.
Why, looks like they were having fun 😂
that's the arrogance of british. nation.
Oh I thought it was very nice actually. The kids were loving it and she looked happy to give away some money to the kids. Nothing weird about it.
Thank you for that beautifully created snapshot in time. Well done on the excellent clarity of the video, and you do a great justice to the people that you show.
You must keep this up! This is such a vital part of history of the people. This is priceless and well as very impressive.
You probably didnt even noticed, but by working on this video, you unveiled the oldest Armenian business caught in a videotape ever, something remarkable for us Armenians, 2:42 there is a barbershop at the left "Coiffeur" , the sign on the background over "Coiffeur" is in Armenian "ՍԱՓՐԻՉ" which means shaver, 99% the business is run by Armenians since Jersualem was historicaly populated by an Armenian minority that has its own quarter in Jersualem. Thanks for this masterpiece of work.
So, it was not populated in majority by "palestinians", as they are claiming these days...
I am just the woke 'Free Palestine' brigade didn't assume they were Palestinians and pledge more support for the Hamas terrorist group! lol The world today can be so great with videos like this but so dumb at the same time with woke "culture" doing the things they accuse everyone else of doing who actually are not doing the things they claim they are but they themselves are the ones doing all the bad things they accuse others of...
Thanks for the info. I was wondering why a French billboard was there
Good catch bro.
4:53 rich people feeding the poor like they are birds or stray dogs :(
Yea in Vietnam, a little degrading. Now the poor in America are draining the middle class
@@copperfish543way to turn a fascinating and sad bit of historical footage into being about your own personal neoconservative political ignorance. Ironic.
Yeah that struck me too. Not much changes.
Those were likely sweets, and that's still a custom in many countries of the world. If the people throwing the sweets had dressed the same way as the children you wouldn't complain. So the problem is that the rich should not participate in that kind of customs? Or maybe they should throw the sweets to rich children, so that people like you don't complain?
@@itisabird what are you basing that off. Old Vietnamese friend of mine said it will be money. So you seem to be trying to set a narrative to suit your own biases.
The work you’re doing is so important. Thank you.
Just came across this channel. Incredibly good work! Congrats by heart!
We owe a big thanks to them for recording this footage. Now we have a small window into the past, that no other generation before us has had.
Read the description "Original footage from the Lumière Brothers."
They were the Lumiere brothers, the first to perfect the technique of film.
@@malahammer Don't even need to read the description, it's in the video 0:06
My favorite footage has to be the snowball fight and the potato sack race. So often in old pictures and history books, pictures were a serious event, and you had to look stoic, or we only hear about tragic events in history. It’s really refreshing to see everyone smiling and having fun and laughing. It makes me feel more connected to these people, and reminds me that even 130 years apart from us, they’re just like us, who love to have fun and laugh and play games. ❤ Amazing footage! So smooth!
Main reason why people didn't smile in old pictures, is because it would take a very long time, depending on camera, minutes to an hour or even longer, can't quiet remember. Imagine trying to hold a smile or a pose for so long.
The snowball fight? Where they pummel some poor guy riding his bike causing him to wreck - then continue to nail him while he's on the ground? That's funny to you? You're sick.
@@frenzo101a couple of minutes, but the catch was that any movement creates blur. Even now if you stand in nighttime on a busy bridge and take a photo of day highway traffic below, with flash off and even if you stabilize the shot using the railing, the shake from traffic going across will blur the photo.

This was really nicely remastered ! Some of the best work of this type I have seen ! 🙂👍
That just looks so unreal. Great work and thank you for this!
That sailor in Barcelona at 8:10 walking up the loading plank. You spot him immediately in the center as he's made acutely aware he's being filmed and simply cannot resist himself by drawing attention and striking a wacky pose. Caught me completely off guard. lol
hahah yes, this is one video I can watch 3 or 4 different times... focusing only on the left, only on the right, only on the bottom, etc... to try and catch as much as possible. He showed off a few times and even did a hand signal that I think entitles him to punch us all on the arm???
Not one person staring down at their phone. Just beautiful.
I'd be shocked if they did.
I think they might struggle a bit with that one
And why is staring at your phone a bad thing?
@@Fizbin32111because you stop living and experiencing the world around you. I must admit the world around us is not as pleasant anymore but I'd take 1h in nature over 1h scrolling YT Shorts.
what's so ugly about staring at your phone ?
This is absolutely mesmerizing, great video thank you 👍🏻
Brilliant job, thank you for the video!
I’m 65 now in 2024. I had a great grandmother who was alive then and who lived until I was in high school in the 1970’s. Amazing times back then.
It's amazing how only four generations can span a 127 year gap. Even in just that gap, we've moved from horse-drawn carriages and occasionally a wire-powered tram and steam locomotives - to traveling space, exploring the deepest ocean with unmanned robots, and also using steam locomotives. They are just that good.
I don't want to do one on you, but I'm 50 and had a grandfather who was alive then and old enough to remember this date
On he other hand, he died before I was born.
@ditto1958 Kinda blows my mind, you actually knew someone from that era. So bizzar to think about.
More amazing is that the last Civil War widow died in 2020. Seriously, go look it up. Helen Jackson was her name.
@@capitalb5889 I'm 40 and my grandfather was born in Martinique (5:11) in 1896, so he was not old enough to remember this time. He died in the late 1970s before I was born. He avoided the deadliest volcano of the 20th century which killed many of his relatives in 1902, and was a veteran of WWI and WWII.

Thank you, this was amazing.😃
Extraordinary footage, many thanks!

WTF is she doing? Tossing candies or something? Either way, the optics of it are not the best. Looks like she's feeding birds.

They all look perfectly happy. Scattering goodies around for kids to race around for is a just game that people still do.
@@brittybee6615 It would be fine if they weren't an exploited euroean colony.
Watching the guy parallel park his horse and buggy at 9:16 was so strange yet so relatable.
I didn't notice that the first time around 😂 thanks
I was totally gonna make a comment about the horse doing that 15 pt turn 😂🎉
Thank you for this amazing work
100% amazing. Like a little time machine in my brain cells. It always strikes me how busy the people seem to be, and how distanced the camera is - no close-ups, as if they fear their soul could be stolen. Thanks for being a tasteful person not annoying us with tasteless background music!
Crazy how much "life" is seemingly added to these clips just from adding color!
Is not only the color
And the fact that the film is not accelerated, that the movements are fluid.
For people wondering, the place in Germany at 9:49 - 10:17 is the "Friedrichstraße" in Berlin, which is where the "Panopticum" was located at the time, after it's old location burned down. The "Panopticum" was similar to todays "Madame Tussauds", a waxworks cabinet or wax museum.
Sad bonus story from Wikipedia:
"In 1972, the Panoptikum was reopened in the shop-in-shop shopping center on Joachimstaler Straße/Ku᾽damm-Eck. The figures from the wax figure collection of around 200 objects were brought back by a German entrepreneur in 1960. In 1996, the exhibition in the new Berlin Panoptikum was closed due to construction work and reopened on May 11, 2013 under the name Panoptikum Mannheim on the 3rd floor of the Mannheim Stadthaus. The Mannheim Panoptikum was closed on May 31, 2014 due to rent debts. The historical waxes and plasters were subsequently sold and the collection as a whole was lost to the public and science."
Good call, I was wondering too. I'll add that you can see the building on the left on street view. Place yourself by the subway station stairs south of the intersection and look north.
1. The area didn't "burn down", it was bombed down at the end of WW2.
2. Castans Panopticum is the house on the left side; the "Passagen-Panopticum" with the "42 wilde Weiber aus Dahomey" belongs to the "Kaisergalerie".
-> diezeitensindvorbei.blogspot.com/2021/02/42-wilde-weiber-aus-dahomey-eine.html
Never again will the world marvel at "42 wilde Weiber aus Dahomey". Truly a loss...
I was wondering why everything else had a city name added except Germany for some reason I guess I never heard about the famous city of Germany before lol
Thank you because that was one of my first thoughts "where in Germany this filmed?"
Awesome job pairing the music with the beautiful colorized footage from around the world.
6:22 I love how excited this man is to see the camera 🥹
The couple in 6:22 be like "hey, look, we are going to be on youtube in 100 years"
Tbh it's amazing that that moment was once a present, they experienced looking into the camera and thinking something. It's so abstract for me.
no. what they saw was a camera like device for which they werent used to. any notion of a turing machine (the basis for any internet structure) would not come for another 40 - 50 yrs after that film. stop projecting your ideas of what you know about modern day technology onto the thoughts of people who had no idea aout what you know and could not possible know
@@abublahinocuckbloho4539
I remember seeing people on early tv. They were curious about being able to interact with something new. I would think the same were true with the film being done in 1896.
@@abublahinocuckbloho4539Imagine thinking I was serious about them thnking about youtube xDD Also turing machine is basis for computer, not internet.
Unless you're trolling me now and I got baited xD
Bruh 😐
what amazes me is that none of these people look afraid of each other
Because the bad ppl were arrested and locked up, unlike today, ppl knew right from wrong.
people also dont look afraid of all the health and safety hazards xD
@@copperfish543 what?
Because no internet, no TV, no newspapers focused on crimes back then. But if you look at the numbers, we live in a much more peacefull world.
this was true in the 90s and into the 00s, social media has destroyed it
that was awesome thank you
Puts time into a little perspective , we are all part of history no matter how small a part we play
My grandfahter was born in 1898... mindbuggling to see people long gone. I turn 44 this year. Insane how time flys. Live your life folks... its not gonna waitin for ya.
My grandpa was born in 1898, too.
My Nana in 1899.
Your so right - Tempus fugit!
Wow. 44 is *really* young to have a grandparent born in 1898! I was going to say before than not only are all these people gone, the vast majority of their children would be gone, and most of their grandchildren as well.
My Grandfather was an amazing man. Served and survived two world wars, 12 years PoW and 4 political systems. Three of these we're dictatorships, just one was basic democracy. Not an easy life. What would he say If he see the world today ?
@@jonathankupper1793 don't forget men can still be fathers at extreme old age
How it that possible? I'm 51 and my grandfather was born in 1927.
The architecture is so striking, no ugly glass boxes, no concrete - every building designed to look beautiful and to fit its surrounding area
The building extreme right 13:17 is really beautiful, not sure what it is.
I've always heard of the era when streets belonged to people, not to cars. Here is the evidence of that. How wonderful to see. Thank you!
Horses, horse and buggies and trams were the transportation of the period. Within 20 years motor vehicles replaced them.
it's also Europe. The US is just completely asinine with its car culture.
Seems to me that even here, the streets mostly belonged to horsecarts.
Literally the only era that's ever been easily spanning *thousands* of years since the birth of cities. All that changed just a century ago...
incredible
I don't think it's wonderful to see the poor horses
The restoration is amazing. You can almost imagine yourself there. And the locations they filmed - they traveled quite far to document the world with this new technology.
Absolutely incredible, one of the best videos I have ever watched on CZcams. ❤️👌 You now have a new subscriber to your channel 😊
I very rarely cry at TV shows, movies or games, but this made me cry. The fact that’s there’s no audio from the camera leaves you to reflect on what you’re seeing, which is people staring at you from a completely different time period that we will never be able to experience for the rest of eternity. This is the closest we can ever get.
i felt that uncanny feeling seeing them stare to the camera or even greets the camera by "open the hat gesture thing", and us as someone from the future can felt their greetings is felt magical, i also willing to bet they didnt know that their greeting gestures would not only answered by people of that time who see it in cinema back then but also peoples in the future 100+ years forward and possibly viewed by their great great grandchildren
So the myth of cameras capturing your soul is 100% real. I too felt their presence when they would look into the camera. 😮
Man the architecture back then went nuts!! all we got now are these generic office buildings that look like static rectangular prisms
yep, because we want it built fast, cheap, and the stonemasons want more than 3$ per day
depends...
the same as mobile phones today.
@@blacksand. A stonemason in those days could at least buy his own house. Today an engineer suffers to pay his mortgage.
@@spavlvsapstnot if he handles his finances correctly and minds his credit report. There's absolutely no reason an engineer should not own his own home. I know people with entry level factory and manufacturing jobs that own their own home free and clear. The problem is people now don't know how to save, invest, and do without. They spend recklessly and complain that they don't make enough (even though they make 4 times more than other people who are doing just fine in life).
Absolutely amazing! Great work!
simply wonderful, bravo and thank you
I don't know why, but this has become one of my most relaxing videos. Whenever I'm fed up with the world where everyone is always shouting at each other, insulting each other, I come back to this video and realize that there are still so many good people was and still is. Only through this video do I still have hope in humanity that things will eventually change for the better
This is because you look at the world through the social media lens…go out take a walk and you will realise the world is nothing like the media says…all,this divide is b.s and doesn’t exist on the scale it does on social media
I personally get a feeling of dread over how all these places have changed for the worse, especially the european Capitals. But I appreciate your optimism
@@knightofvideos4268 your coment has no sense.
Yes it does@@kuaser
never red a history book? look at the locations at the time. it was pre ww time. time of conflicts and high murder rates across europe
These videos make me cry every time. I’m not even sure what I’m crying about.
Innocence, pure and simple. I'd love to be there instead of here and now...
its like we are time traveling, a looking glass to the past. Our senses can almost imagine what its like being there in person, the warm of the sun on our cheeks, the roaring sound of a busy city, hearing the market chatter with our own ears. But its also sad knowing everyone we are looking at is , gone. Not just the people that are gone, but the architectural buildings of its time , culture, fashion, music, it's all gone.

I have never felt so close to people from an era this long past. Normally I don't go in for trying to fill in old footage with something that isn't there, but this... this is just wonderful. At a higher frame rate you can see people emoting, reacting, interacting like never before. Amazing! I especially love everyone mugging for the camera 😃
Wow! This footage is F amazing. It's like looking through a window in time. Thank you for taking the time to remaster all this footage.
I love world history and am so interested in the everyday little things that people did.i honestly feel Ive lived a previous life when i get goosebumps watching these videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, this is amazing - really brings the past to life. Thank-you so much for sharing. Subscribed!😀 Ridiculous that YT won't let you monetize this. Surely the original footage is in the public domain. 2.8m Views in two months is pretty awesome.
this is one of the best experiences ive ever had on youtube. thank you so much for your time and talent! its a joy and pleasure!
I live in Lyon and it's so emotional to see those places as they were in the past, to see all these people joking and playing. Thanks a lot for this gift !
Your city gave us the gift of the moving picture!
Thank you, it’s amazing how much horses did for humanity back then. Such a different time.
Great job! I've never watched a newsreel with such interest! Thanks!
as a Filipino, we studied how Jose Rizal our national hero went to New York in 1892. this gave me a goose bonus when I saw New York at the same moment our national hero saw it.
A few days later, Rizal went by ferry to the inland Port of Stockton where he would board a train for Sacramento, and then went on to Reno, Salt Lake City, Chicago, and New York City. On his train ride across America, Rizal realized the enormous wealth, power and imperialistic ambitions of America.
“What impressions do you have of America?” “America,” answered Rizal, “is the land par excellence of freedom but only for the whites”.
keep up the good work. make people be inspired! 😍
It wasn't only for the whites. Green is the only color that matters. A wealthy black man is treated better than a poor white person here and has been for many many years. We dont care if our money came from a black man, white man, or Filipino woman here in the states. He certainly didn't see any different going to the places you mentioned. If he'd gone down south I could have understood his point, but by your own statement he didn't do that.
Remember the batlle of yultong
Thank you so much for doing such a great job! You've opened a little window into the era of my favorite writers O. Henry and Jack London.
You do fantastic work on these old films!
Thank you, this was amazing.
This is amazing! I felt transported back in time unlike anything I have ever felt before. Thanks for the work you put into this!
