A thought-provoking, cinematic series by Smart Curiosity that rewinds the greatest stories ever told exploring what happens when history runs backward.
π₯ What Is This Project?
History in Reverse is a bold reimagining of the past.
Instead of following a linear timeline, each episode turns back the clock unraveling major historical events, inventions, and civilizations in reverse order.
What if the atomic bomb was never dropped? What if the Roman Empire dissolved before it rose? What if democracy vanished before it was born?
This is not just an alternative way to look at history itβs a total inversion of cause and effect, designed to challenge your perspective and reveal surprising truths hidden in time.
