"The past is only the present become invisible and mute; and because it is invisible and mute, its memorized glances and its murmurs are infinitely precious. We are tomorrow's past." -- Mary Webb

What I love most of all, is to walk around or sit around ancient or medieval ruins and imagine the people who built them and live around them... If, for example, you've sat in the ruins of a Roman theater and could almost see or hear the Romans as they watched or commented the play 2000 years ago, then you know what I mean...

In this collection, I'm going to feature deviations which show remnants of prehistory, ancient times, medieval times and the modern era, but I'm also going to have a separate category (which I'll call "present times") for things that either come to us from the past and are still being used nowadays, or were made during our time to emulate or explain it. Now, if the deviations didn't mention the era and such, I tried guessing, but I'm no expert, so don't hold it against me if I guessed wrong. And, yes, I've placed some classical statues in the modern eras' section, but that was because, as far as I could tell, they were not original, but copies that were made for decoration and such.

Let us explore the past here, through the eyes of the deviants who have portrayed it. Follow me on a journey through time, as we watch it unfold in front of our eyes. I hope you enjoy the journey. And, as usual, don't forget to visit the artists who submitted those beautiful deviations.
