Can I Guess Where & WHEN These Photos Were Taken?

When and where was this photo taken? Today I'm playing Time Guesser, which is basically like GeoGuesser, but it's stationary photos from history

And this is our first one, so it looks like there's a woman being arrested, perhaps she's a suffragette, which I think was like the turn of the 20th century maybe

It also looks like it's the gates of Buckingham Palace in the background, but it might not be

Looking at the fashion, this guy's got the curvy collars like in Season 1 of Peaky Blinders, and I think that was set in the early 20s

And oh, hang on. Is that an actual date? May the 21st. Oh, what's that? 19? It's a little bit cropped

out. 1914. I'm gonna say 1914 Buckingham Palace. All right, let's go for it. If we're spot on

that'd be a delightful round one. Also, I want to quickly say I saw GeoWizard playing this

by the way. Right, so there's Buckingham Palace. Is that the, yeah, that's the front. So I guess

they'd be here, maybe? And then I need to change the date. So we'll go 1914. Yeah. I mean, 1914

would be around World War I, wouldn't it? That's the start. Yeah, that should be fine

All right, let's click make guess. Oh, spot on. I got a perfect score for the year

thanks to the year kind of literally being written right in front of me. And I got a perfect score for the location as well

What a nice start. Oh, it's Emily Pankhurst, leader of the women's suffragette movement

is arrested outside Buckingham Palace while trying to present a petition to King George V

Yes, Emilian. Unreal. That is absolutely epic. All right, next. Ooh, so we've got a colour photograph this time

and a flag that I'm not too sure on. Oh, God, yeah

I think I'm going to screw this one up. At first, I thought that was St. George and I thought these were England flags

but they are definitely not England flags. Is that an actual national flag

I can't see. I'm not going to get a good score on this one. MTC, okay

Kochmo, okay. Looking at the people, they look European. Obviously, that could be wrong

All of the texts are just brand names, I think. We're not getting any clear language clues

unless I'm missing them. Oh, God, what's that flag? Yeah, I am not getting this one, am I

Right, okay. Well, what year does it look like? It doesn't look that long ago, does it

It could be maybe 10 years, so we'll change to 2009, 2010

Okay, and for the place, I'm thinking Madrid, but that's not really based on anything

Okay, let's guess and see how we get on. 10 years off. It was only three years ago

It was 2020, and it was over in Belarus. There was a protest against Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus's first and only president

who has been in office since 1994. 64 that was a bit dodgy to me all right i did not recognize any of the flags so i didn't do too great

there but i mean it could be worse we got the consonant we were only 10 years out of like 100

away let's do the next one here we go oh they have mixed this one up well where is that that's so

hard i don't know oh this is so difficult because like we could be down in the south pole or we

could be more towards the north pole i'm going to assume we're in the arctic i just feel like

more goes on up in the north this looks like ice i could be anywhere i might just go

What am I meant to do a year as well? I'm gonna go like north of Finland. I'm gonna go to yeah, I know

Svalbard is like an area of Finland. That's just like really really cold and known for being cold

So we'll go around there the year though. I have no idea how early can we go? 1900. Okay, cool

Um, I mean, it's an underwater picture, so i'm gonna say 2008 but it's just a complete guess it was 2015 and it was the antarctica

Okay, a scientist diving through an ice well to access sampling sites at the Dumont de Ouville scientific station

Seven years off. 3,400 points out of 10,000. Okay, let's get something a little bit more obvious

Right, okay, so we've got a Soviet Union flag and we've got a good quality high megabyte image

Do we have any national flags anywhere? I would probably just assume that this was Russia, but I can't see any flags that have any giveaways

So you're gonna look at the fashion. Uh, just looks modern day, doesn't it

Right, well, we'll go Moscow, maybe? I don't know. What the Soviet Union doing these days I no clue Moscow and we go 2014 Why not Four years off but it was Moscow Okay Photo of a T medium tank adorned with a Soviet Union flag at the 2018 Moscow Victory

Day Parade. We're actually quite good there. We got 9,000 out of 10,000, but I feel like it was a lot of luck from me there, to be fair

Four years off. Not bad. All right, now our final round, and we've got something a bit more historical again

This is what we like to see. Any sneaky dates down the bottom? Unfortunately not

I do not recognize this gentleman, but he's obviously some kind of scientist that's done some cool scientist related thing

Kind of looks like the 60s or the 50s. I would assume he's maybe American, but once again, that's just a guess

I'm going to head towards Washington outside of it, and then for the year 62

Nah, 58. Should we go 58? Yeah, why not? There's no point wasting any time because I don't really know much

I'm just kind of guessing. Here we go. I was one year off, and it was USA, but it was the other side

It was over in towards San Jose. Julian Allen stands beside the observation window of the NASA

wind tunnel. His findings revolutionized the fundamental design of ballistic missile shapes

I mean, I was very close with the year and I'm glad I got the right country. So that's a final

score of 32,000 out of 50,000. That's all right. Right. We're playing again because this is

absolutely unreal. I'm not going to lie. I'm actually really enjoying this. Oh, here we go

Round one of five. And it's a very iconic photo. One of the last pictures of President Kennedy

before he was assassinated. Oh, when was that? I feel like it was like 1965

but I don't know why I think that. So I'll stick on 1965. That's just an instinct that I've got

And then whereabouts is it? I don't know, but I would assume it's Washington

like not too far from the White House. How sad though that he was assassinated

and look at all the security, everyone just having no idea of like this huge life-changing event

that's about to happen. All right, where is the lighthouse? There's the Library of Congress

There's the US Capitol. So maybe we should go around there. Yeah, i'm gonna go for it

I'm gonna go like outside of it and let's make the guess two years off. It was 63. Yeah, fair enough

But he was in texas. He was in dallas texas. So I was quite far away

That's still a score of 7 000 out of 10 000 to begin with not too bad

Okay, let's play the next one and we've got another black and white image and it looks like perhaps some rioters

Maybe or protesters perhaps is a better word. They're throwing bricks about and we have a little bit of text up the top

West K-A-S Bledged Built England's Divinen Right, okay then Looks European, the text doesn't sound English

We have a camera up here Which makes me want to say I don't know, maybe

It's black and white, but the quality's quite good And the fashion doesn't look that old

Like, people are in jeans So I reckon colour photographs existed when this was taken

It just happens to be in black and white It feels like the 70s or maybe early 80s

So I am going to go 80s and where is somewhere in Europe that would have a little bit of political unrest

and require some protests in the 80s? Maybe Berlin. But then I suppose that doesn't look Deutsch, does it

Not quite. I'm going to go with it anyway and we'll say 1988 because I think that's when the Berlin Wall fell

So make a guess. It was the 80s. Well, I'm quite good at getting my ears to be fair

Activists protesting against the eviction of Squatter's house in Amsterdam. Yeah, I should have gone somewhere outside of Germany because I didn't think the text was German

But I didn't know where else to go. Unfortunately, it's a neighboring country. So we're 8,000 out of 1,000

So I think this is going better than round one so far next We've got some trams this one does look quite a bit older, but not that old to be fair

Like this kid's wearing some wellies and that doesn't look that old of a top Oh hang on central something central louvarten right? It sounds european again, maybe 60s, maybe 50s

Nah, they've got like proper traffic lights and stuff. They probably had proper traffic lights in the 50s

I don't already know what I'm talking about. Can I read what this is? Uh, no, no, I can't

Cat Oopoo though I can read that Well that good I think this is early 60s like looking at this lady coat but then also like the slightly older people having more traditional suits and stuff

So I might go mid-60s, in fact. We'll go, like, 65. But in terms of place, I've no idea

Looking at the architecture, it could be, like, Paris or something. But does that sound French

Not really. But I don't know where else to go, so I'm gonna do a 60s Paris

We'll click right there, and we shall make our guess. Five years off, 1970

Okay, not far. And we were up in Finland, Helsinki. Pedestrians crossing Aleksandrin-Katau at the Keskuska 2 intersection

at the corner of the Stockman department store during the pedestrian street experiment

Oh, they were testing out pedestrianized streets. Well, that's pretty cool. Okay, we got at least over half, so, you know, I'll take it

Oh, it's the fella from the previous round. But can I remember when and where he was from

I think I can. He was San Jose, wasn't he? Was that that guy? San Jose, and it was 19..

I don't remember. I'll go with like 57 or something. All right, guess. Spot on

I'll take the free round. 9,800 points. Thank you. Ooh, now this looks old. We have five children on a horse, and the fashion is very old

Like, that's like, gotta be like 1910s, maybe. Maybe 1920s. Where on earth could that be? I mean, does it look English? Does it look American

I've no idea to be honest with you guys. Um, I'll probably say American though

Should I say American? It could be anywhere in the British countryside, couldn't it

They're dressed kind of like when I see old family photos, this is what they look like

So based on that, we'll go Britain and we'll go kind of outside of London

towards somewhere kind of nice still. Yeah, we'll go near Cambridge, but on the outside and the year

I'm going to go way back to... It could be evacuees. Did they have evacuees in World War I

We'll go 1916 based on that. Let's guess. 11 years off, oh, I was quite far away as well

It was down in Australia, which I did not foresee. Five children from the Daniels family lined up on one horse

travelling to school at Gindi. In 1861, Samuel Daniels sailed from the United Kingdom to Queensland

and settled in Gindi. The family still have a presence in Gindi today. So they are British children, technically, to be fair

But I was still way off, and I should have gone even earlier. 11 years, okay

I think I have got a slightly better score, but only by about 1,000. So our challenge is to beat it in the final game

Love to get towards 40,000. That would be amazing. Oh my God, what an image

Right, that's the Taiwan flag, right? Yes, it's got to be. But the fella doesn't look particularly Taiwanese

but I suppose I don't know the full story. And then they're doing a very large dive

Okay, well, let's find Taiwan and I guess we'll go from there

I suppose it makes sense to go in the capital. Do we go towards the coast

Because they're not going to be jumping in the ocean. They're gonna be jumping a big pool. What on earth is the story behind this image? Well, I guess we'll find out momentarily

The thing is they might not be in taiwan at all They might just be representing taiwan in an event and it's like a big red herring

But it's all i've got to go on and then in terms of the year I guess I need to zoom in on this fella try and look at his hairstyle

Not really giving much away because obviously it's gonna be a bit damp, isn't it? And it just looks pretty modern though, doesn't it? I suppose it could be the 90s, but i'm gonna go like

2009 no idea. Let's make the guess. Okay. Okay 2011 and we were taiwan just outside the capital but it was on the coast ocean world so it wasn't

actually on the coast but it was on the coast oh man i could have got an incredible score there but

9600 is nothing to be snuffed at i'm quite pleased with that next one so much older looking image this

looks 60s or 70s and i can see the word jakarta i know why jakarta is don't tell me don't tell me

it's indonesia isn't it yes it's right there okay we zoom in on jakarta and then there might be like

a more specific word around here. That says 82. Do you think it was 1982

Could that be 82? Yeah, I suppose it could. I would have guessed that was more like 72 but I feel like that maybe the word August August 1982 So I think based on that I got to go with 82 haven I So we go around there And then Teradip

Can we find that word anywhere? No. What about Meningkatkan? Whoa, this place is dense

Look at how far you zoom in and you see so many tiny, tiny buildings. Okay, I'm probably just going to guess there because I reckon I'll get a pretty good score of it

Okay, hopefully the year's right. Yes. Students attending the 1982 Indonesian Film Festival in Jakarta

So specifically, it was up here in a convention center, but we weren't too far away at all

Right, we are on track to get a new high score. Come on, where we are next

Ooh, okay. So this looks like World War II, doesn't it? U.S. World War II

Oh, God, where do I go, though? Surely I don't go in the U.S. Surely I need to be in Europe, you know, in like France or something

I don't know. I wonder if there's any kind of clues that we can find, because fortunately, you are allowed to zoom in pretty far

It's a really great game this by the way. I'll definitely leave the link in the description and please let me know if you want to see me do more of it

You know what? I'm saying World War 2 But it could be like the Vietnam War or something and the photos just being put into black and white because like don't their hats look a little bit

Modern I don't know if I should get thrown off by this I just feel like the World War 2 hats were more just shiny tin and they didn't have like a camo texture over the top

But maybe I'm just talking out of my absolute ass I just don't see what the Americans would gain by whacking up a big US flag in the middle of Europe

but I suppose they are American, to be fair. I'm probably just going to have to go with World War II

but I do honestly think, like, I've been red-haired by the black and white

Do we go in Dunkirk? It doesn't look like it's on the coast, does it

But why not? And then I'll go towards the end of the war, 1944

Guess. One year off. It was over here. Where even is this? Oh my god

Invasion Beach. Raising the flag on Iwaujima is an iconic photograph of six United States Marines

raising the US flag atop Mount Surabachi during the Battle of Awojima in the final stages of the Pacific War

Okay, I suppose it would have made sense to go towards Japan with them being US flags

So I'm really quite far away there. At least that was only one year off

Right, we've got some ground to make up. Ooh, what's going on here

We've got some white men in suits. And he's doing a big yawn. So they look like government people

We might have a president or a prime minister here. Do we have any clues that will suggest what country this is

because there could be so many places. We've got something on there. What's that? I don't know

I don't recognize that. This phone kind of makes it look like it's early 60s, maybe 50s

We'll go late 50s, I think. So let's get the year set up. I'll go 58

But then what do I do? I'm not sure. I'd probably just go US or UK

The pinstripe suit, I associate more with the US. It might not necessarily be a government thing

It could be like some kind of court case, maybe. Like maybe this is Al Capone or something

Unfortunately, I don't know what he looks like. So because of that, I'm gonna go Washington in the US

I feel like I've just been constantly in Washington this video. So we'll go right there near the capital and let's make the guess

Eight years off, Minister Jorn's during budget debate at the Netherlands House of Representatives

That's a difficult one. It's 1966 and it was over in the Netherlands

Oh, we're in trouble here. I'm not gonna lie. I need a really good score

Unfortunately, I'm about to get one. Can I remember everything? Uh, no, I can't

Was it 67? Maybe it was 67. I think it was 67 and it was in Dallas, wasn't it

I wonder if there's like a Kennedy remembrance label somewhere nearby this area if I zoom in

No, I'm not gonna find it, am I? We'll stick around there and I think I've got the year right

I don't think I do, you know, let's guess. Four years off, 63. I think I had it the first time, oh God

President Kennedy with his wife, Jackie Kennedy, in a limousine in Dallas, Texas

minutes before the assassination. That's so sad, isn't it? When you think about his wife just sat there

having no clue what's about to happen. But on that nice note, We have a final score of 36,000

So I think I did beat my previous record, but still I wanted 40k

So let me know if you want to see me do this again. Thank you very much for watching. The link to the game will be in the description and I'll see you later
