Is Vladimir Putin a time traveler - or a magical, ageless being who has defended his native Russia through the ages?

UFO site Disclose.tv says, 'On social networks are circulating pictures from 1920. and in 1941. for which some people claim that they are pictures of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
'In fact, supporters of the thesis that Putin is almighty and immortal, have launched a story that their president is a mythical creature that lives on our planet for hundreds, if not thousands of years.'
But, like previous 'sightings' of celebrities such as Jay-Z 'in the past', this is just a case of hoaxers finding similar faces in old photos. Hang on, is this an ancient Greek woman actually using a laptop - complete with USB ports?
That's what conspiracy theorists would have you believe.
The statue, ‘Grave Naiskos of an Enthroned Woman with an Attendant’ is in The J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, California.
YouTuber StillSpeakingOut says it, ‘depicts an astonishing object which bears a striking resemblance to a modern laptop or some hand-held device.’
The gallery's own description is much more modest, describing it as a 'shallow chest'. A woman is clearly seen talking into what appears to be a mobile phone in a DVD extra of Charlie Chaplin's film The Circus - in 1928.
The clip was unearthed by film-maker George Clarke, and was the subject of TV news slots around the world.
But while the clip is still touted as evidence for time travel, more sober analysis by experts at Washington University in St Louis suggests that she is actually using an ear trumpet.
Other experts have pointed out that the first portable hearing aids were being developed around this time. Debate still rages about the man seen here in apparently modern clothes - in a photo dated from 1941.
The image comes from the Bralorne Pioneer Museum, and shows the re-opening of the South Fork Bridge in Gold Bridge, British Columbia.
Many suggest that the style of sunglasses and clothes worn by the man suggests he is not from 1941.
But after the story went viral in 2011, many internet users pointed out that the style of sunglasses worn by the man actually appeared in the 1920s - and that while it looks like he is wearing a T-shirt, he is probably wearing an ice hockey sweater with a sewn-on emblem.
