1930s painting 'proves time travel exists' as 'mobile phone' spotted in mural

Conspiracy fans are convinced that a mural from the 1930s proves 'time travel exists' after they spotted a 'mobile phone' in the painting.

The mural, titled Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield, was created by Italian artist Umberto Romano in 1937 and depicts the arrival of settlers to the town in the 1620s.

In the scene, a Native American local is holding up a small, black rectangular object similar to the shape of an iPhone and looking directly at it, almost as if he was snapping a selfie.
