If you've followed us for a while, you'll know we love a good recreation. Whether it's couples who reenact famous movie posters, or people passing their time in quarantine by recreating famous paintings, we've got your covered.

See how many of these crazy historical facts you actually knew, and how many will make you say "Whaaaaat?!"
