Famous Historical Photos Reimagined As Instagrams Are The Best Thing On The Internet

But what if the ubiquitous photo-sharing platform had been around for history's most iconic moments?

Enter our new favorite Tumblr, Histagrams, which imagines what history's finest characters, from Moses to Titanic's Jack Dawson, would have deemed worthy of their feeds. The hilarious alter-net reality answers some of our greatest historical questions, including how the Beatles found their band name and how Jackson Pollock discovered his signature artistic style. But honestly, nothing compares to Charles Darwin's #Movember selfie.
