A Greta Thunberg lookalike in a 121-year-old photo has sparked a new conspiracy theory about the environmentalist being a time traveler.

People on Twitter have started to claim that one of the people in the photo from 1898 that shows three children from the Yukon Territory in Canada has a face that’s so identical to Thunberg’s that it couldn’t possibly be anybody else. The girl said to be Thunberg also has the same braided hairstyle that the Swedish teen is known for. And although the timeline certainly doesn’t add up, many are saying that it’s proof that Thunberg is from a different time.

The photo was resurfaced from archives at the University of Washington. Those in favor of the conspiracy have even shared their logic that Thunberg must have traveled to 2019 to warn everyone about the detriment to the environment that is to come.

Some have offered up other explanations, suggesting that she’s either immortal or reincarnated.

Many still oppose the theory and the fact that so many people are talking about it.

But that won’t stop believers from holding onto the conspiracy.
