‘Life in Moments’ Twitter Account Shows History as You’ve Never Seen It Before

Digging into the photographs of the past can be interesting and down-right magnificent. Taking a hard look at the Twitter account of @historyinmoment, we get an idea of what kind of retro catches the most attention.

Tracklist Inspiration (1968)

It isn’t odd to hear a plane explosion in the midst of a Pink Floyd song. This photograph seems eerily fitting. Either the people on Twitter who liked this photo knew that or maybe they just really liked the way the guys looked in flight suits.

No Slipping of This Knot (1922)

The tomb with an unbroken seal discovered in 1922 belonged to no other than King Tut, the boy Pharaoh. King Tut died in Egypt when he was 19, leaving an entire tomb’s worth of treasure. Nearly 3,000 years and this seal remained intact.

Sting like a Bee, Buddy (1963)

This photograph makes you wonder how this event came to fruition. Thankfully Muhammad Ali went along with the whole show. Imagine the bragging rights this kid had for, well, the rest of his life.

During the Bliss (1960)

Somewhere in Iran right before the revolution to overthrow the monarchy. No commotion here though, just a really classy beach day. That’s right— the West did not invent the classic “sit on the hood of a car” photo.
