People have been left convinced that Greta Thunberg is a time traveller after being "spotted" in a 120-year-old photograph.
A picture of "Greta" has taken the internet by storm after social media users were convinced the age-old picture of a woman mining in a field is actually the Swedish activist.
While the now 19-year-old has been fighting for climate justice for most of her life, it seems that she is actually a lot older than some might expect.
A photo - which was taken in 1989 by Eric Hegg - and depicts three children working at a gold mine in Canada 's Yukon territory.
Captured in the grainy black and white picture is a child who looks eerily similar to the globally recognised teenager.
To add to the confusion, none of the kids in the viral image are named - so they could in fact be anyone.
The image, which was most recently shared by Paul Joseph Watson on Twitter, has racked up over 3,500 likes.
Users took to the social media site to share their disbelief at the uncanny resemblance, with one writing: "I'm not one for conspiracy theories but she is 100 per cent a time traveller."
While another said: "'So 'Greta Thunberg' is in a photo from 120 years ago, and it's my new favourite conspiracy.
"Greta's a time traveller, from the future, and she's here to save us.
"120-year-old photo sparks theories that climate activist & environmental heroine, Greta Thunberg, is, in fact, a 'time-travel' who has travelled thru time to save our planet!"
A third added: "Wishing her all the best and success in her mission to save the Earth. We can use the help we can get!"
A fourth also comedically added: "What was her mission in the Yukon and which time space coordinates will she be travelling to next?"
It has been reported that the photo now belongs to the University of Washington in Seattle and, since being unearthed in 2019, it has since attracted massive attention.
Speaking about this, archivist Lisa Oberg told CBC: "We've had about 15 to 20 requests just to talk about the photo, and we're getting into almost the triple digits now, in terms of requests to use the photo."
