How to create historic moments on Google’s Nano Banana Pro with location-time prompts

Google Nano Banana Pro is driving a viral wave on X, with users recreating major historical scenes — from 9/11 to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ — using the AI tool’s location- and time-based image generator.

To produce such visuals, users must precisely enter latitude, longitude, date and time before asking Nano Banana Pro to generate an image from that exact moment. A standard prompt begins with Create an image at followed by the chosen coordinates and timestamp.

Holy moly... Nano Banana Pro is wild

One user shared the prompt Create an image at 31.7785° N, 35.2296° E, April 3, 33 CE, 15:00 hours to depict the crucifixion — with April 3 commonly believed to be the date of Jesus’s death. Others recreated the assassination of John F Kennedy and moments from 9/11.

Works for other historical dates too. Prompts in alt. pic.twitter.com/Ju8l00hXRV

Reacting to a 9/11-themed output, one social media user observed that the people in the image appeared to be looking away from the crashing aircraft.

Another widely shared creation depicted the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs, generated using the prompt Create an image at 19.3070° N, 90.7730° W, June 2, 66,000,000 BCE, 14:07 hours.

Nano Banana Pro is insane!

Users have also attempted recreations of the Bill Clinton–Monica Lewinsky scandal, with one remarking that the outcome was “not really what I expected.” Nano Banana Pro even produced an image of Delhi as it might have appeared on 3 April, 33 CE.

It's true. Nano Banana is really wild. But costly????
