Stumbling upon a stranger at a random place, and then realize that they look particularly like yourself is really a fantastic experience. Two persons that are biologically unrelated but look much alike, they’re called doppelgängers. And we are always fascinated by such coincidences, like a miracle in real life. But what if the person that looks like you is not living in the present but the past? It’s so exciting but also a little bit confusing, right?

Here we have chosen out some of the most prominent pictures depicting that situation. People found their doppelgängers (or their past lives, maybe) in old paintings and models when visiting art museums. Trust me. You will not believe in your eyes. So let’s scroll down to see them now.
