This is a beautiful flyover of ancient Rome as it was around 4AD, digitally reconstructed in 3D by the folks at History In 3D. The eight-minute video represents about 40% of Rome, and the team hopes to reconstruct the rest in the future. Some more info about the video and
This is a video from Youtuber NASS, who took some vintage footage of Los Angeles from the 1930’s and remastered it in high definition, boosting the frame rate to 60FPS, improving the sharpness, blur, and noise, stabilizing the images, adding color (not historically accurate), and ambient noise.

This is some surprisingly decent quality handheld footage (complete with mosh pit and crowd surfing!) from a 1994 No Doubt concert at Cal State’s Fullerton campus, about a year prior to the release of the band’s ‘Tragic Kingdom’ album. Granted a tripod for this camera would have been nice, but
Brought to us by Youtuber glamourdaze, this is some AI restored footage (noise and artifacts removed, upscaled to 60fps and 4K, color added) of life at Paris’s cafes in the 1920’s. It’s all got a very Great Gatsby feel to it, just Parisian. Obviously, while watching it I’ll try to
