Despite his death in 2009, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, continues to captivate the public, and recently a strange hypothesis has made his name a hot topic again: could Michael Jackson have been a time traveler?

This theory originated from the YouTube channel Fact5, which featured two historical objects that bear an uncanny resemblance to Jackson. The first is a painting titled “Portrait of a Young Man,” painted by 17th-century artist Barent Fabricius. The painting is currently on display at the Stadelsches Kunst-Institut in Frankfurt, Germany. The YouTube channel also pointed out that the face in the painting bears a strong resemblance to that of the     King of Pop     , leading netizens to wonder: did Jackson travel back in time and get reincarnated by Fabricius?

Fact5 also mentioned an ancient Egyptian statue currently housed at the Field Museum in Chicago, USA. The narrator of the video noted that the statue has facial features that closely resemble those of Michael Jackson. To further convince him, he asked, “Is this proof that Jackson traveled through time and made artistic history?” This question immediately sparked thought, but many also expressed doubts.

These claims sparked a heated debate online. Many were a bit “embarrassed” to discover the similarities, while others immediately dismissed the idea of ​​time travel as ridiculous. Some explicitly stated that “time travel is physically impossible.” Following these comments, Fact5 also clarified that the video was intended for entertainment purposes only and that the time travel hypothesis should not be taken seriously.

This isn’t the first time that celebrity names have been associated with ancient works of art. There have been rumors that Nicolas Cage and John Travolta appear in ancient paintings, with the strange faces being “reincarnations” of contemporary celebrities. However, most of these similarities have been explained away by coincidence or human imagination rather than actual evidence of time travel.

However, the similarities between Michael Jackson and historical objects remain interesting and testify to the admiration and desire to discover unusual things. Jackson’s story is no longer just about his talent or the scandals that surrounded him, but now includes captivating mysteries, arousing the curiosity of fans about the life of the King of Pop.

Ultimately, the Michael Jackson time travel theory remains pure fiction, with no scientific basis. These incidental similarities are a reminder that humans tend to like ordinary things. Could truth be stranger than fiction? The answer is still open, but one thing is certain: Michael Jackson will always live on in the hearts of his fans, no matter the era.
