AN EXTRAORDINARY painting and statue that appear to resemble the late King of Pop Michael Jackson have been hailed as possible proof of time travel.

Does this prove that Michael Jackson can time travel?

The claims were made by YouTube channel Fact5, which highlighted a mysterious old painting which appears to have the face of Jackson.

Portrait of a Young Man by Barent Fabritius, which hangs in the Städelsches Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt, Germany, was painted in the 1600s.

It is said to look uncannily like Jackson.

Even more creepy, says the channel, is an Egyptian statue, housed in The Field Museum in Chicago, which also appears to have Jackson’s face.

The video narrator says: “Have you ever heard the quote, ‘Good painting is like good cooking, it can be tasted but not explained’?

“Well, can you explain this similarity, between Michael Jackson and this anonymous painting?”

“If you thought that this was similar, this mysterious statue also bears some resemblance to the king of pop.

“It appears that Michael had done some time travelling throughout his time.”

The theory being that Jackson went back in time to various eras and was immortalised by the ancient Egyptians and later by the painter.
