Create an image of an optical illusion where ancient historical figures from different time periods come to life and interact with modern day individuals in a surreal and mind-bending reenactment.

Produce an image depicting an optical illusion in a surreal and mind-bending setting. The scene unfolds in an urban environment of the modern era, teeming with people of various genders and descents such as Black, Hispanic, Middle-Eastern, South Asian, Caucasian, and White, who are perplexed but excited. They interact with intriguing figures, seemingly from distinct epochs in history. Do not mistake them for known historical figures, but rather visualize them as ancient generic individuals in tradition-specific attire, displaying a skilful amalgamation of past and present. These historical figures extend from a variety of periods, symbolized by distinct outfits and tools, creating a visual spectacle that defies logic and time.
