Zooming in 10 times on a 140-year-old painting, many people were surprised to discover the 'time travel' detail

A painting from 1882 has recently sparked time travel theories after its remarkable details were discovered .

The Daily Star recently put forward a rather unbelievable hypothesis about the artwork created in 1882 by two artists R. Josey and James Archer. Accordingly, this painting is called "The Betrothal".

The painting depicts the engagement ceremony of the famous poet and his lover.

The painting is said to depict the engagement of the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns and his lover Mary Campbell. It is said to depict the moment when the two exchanged vows of love and announced their plans to marry on the Ayr River in western Scotland in 1786. The scene shows the couple standing on the riverbank, looking at each other lovingly with their hands touching a rectangular black object.

However, after the painting was enlarged 10 times, it made art enthusiasts stop to think and pay special attention to the rectangular object with rounded corners. Although it is quite unbelievable, some people think that this object has a shape quite similar to an Apple smartphone.

The item in question is the smartphone of modern times.

After this hypothesis was put forward, much attention was immediately focused on the painting and felt the miracle of this "time travel" . However, in response to this somewhat fanciful hypothesis , many people gave a simple explanation behind the mysterious object that this is actually a Bible .

According to an ancient Scottish tradition , when exchanging vows, the couple would show their sincerity and faith and mark the momentous occasion by exchanging Bibles over a flowing stream. So it seems that the mysterious black rectangle in the painting may in fact be a religious text rather than some eerie omen of the future.
