Past Of Time - History of Santa Catarina

Rex

Rex is a young Tyrannosaurus, though he doesn't know it. His display sign has gone missing, so he isn’t quite sure where his place in the museum is. As he explores the museum searching for his spot, he gets to know every corner, every secret passage, and all the characters of the Universal Past of Time. Rex is friendly with everyone and considers himself the museum’s best guide. Always ready to help, he’s quite chatty, often saying too much and cracking jokes at the wrong time.

Isadora

Isadora is a very curious 12-year-old girl who loves discovering new worlds, a good story, and everyday curiosities. She never misses an adventure and isn’t afraid of the unknown. Isadora is drawn to the magical world of the Universal Past of Time when an owl enters her wardrobe. Upon opening it, she finds a little door that hadn’t been there before, transporting her to the magical museum world. Throughout the season, Isadora learns from the museum’s characters about historical facts, personalities, customs, and major events. With each episode, she gains new insights about the world and people.

Cícero

Cícero is the wise owl of the goddess Athena. He knows the truth, the facts, and historical data. He is meticulous and has precise knowledge of dates, locations, and events. He illustrates events with infographics to explain everything more easily. He’s the one who sneaks into Isadora's room and wardrobe, luring her into the magical world of the Past of Time.

Tom, Tim, Ed & Jorge

Tom is a Triceratops, a large species with horns and a frill. Always ready for a snack, he seems to have an insatiable appetite. Tim is a Pteranodon, the only dinosaur in the display who can fly. He's the smallest and quickest of the group, similar to a miniature pinscher. Ed is an Ankylosaurus, the spiky member of the gang—funny, lively, and often outspoken with a bit of an edge. Jorge is a Plesiosaurus, the tallest and friendliest of the dinosaurs. All of them are part of the dinosaur display in the museum hall and are responsible for the theme music of each episode.

Tut

Tut is the mummy of the famous Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the only Pharaoh whose sarcophagus was discovered by historians. Although he died young, at the age of 19, Tut has a youthful and rebellious spirit. He’s a fascinating character who loves to reveal the darker side of history, sharing quirky details, curiosities, and humorous facts that aren’t found in history books. Tut has the Egyptian Wing all to himself but prefers to bask in the sunlight in the most comfortable area. With his playful character, he loves to scare and prank people, adding a unique mix of humor and mystery to the museum.

Athena

Athena is a 12-meter-tall statue of the goddess Athena, crafted from marble and gold. Standing imposingly on her marble pedestal in the Greek Wing, Athena exudes seriousness and authority. She approaches history with depth, exploring themes of politics, civilization, and the injustices of past times. With her powerful stance, she sees herself not just as a representation but as the goddess Athena herself.

Monalisa

Monalisa is the living painting of the Monalisa, seated within her frame. As one of the most famous artworks in the world, she holds the authority to speak on art and culture. Enthralled by art, Monalisa emphasizes its importance in documenting and spreading the culture, customs, and attire of a people.

Dioramas

Dioramas is an adaptable display room. In front of the display, there’s a touch monitor that allows users to select different times and places in history. When a period is chosen, the display transforms into a corresponding scene, complete with its personalities, costumes, and architecture. The characters are represented with standard figures, changing only the accessories, similar to Playmobil figurines.

Dr. Onóris Causa

Dr. Onóris Causa is a character who considers himself a history expert. He roams the museum corridors with his enormous history book, constantly consulting it to provide precise dates, periods, names, and facts that no one asked for. Dr. Onóris is extremely enthusiastic, always eager to display his knowledge. He frequently interrupts other characters, barging into any space and never allowing anyone else to speak—all to showcase his historical insights. He’s more focused on the facts than on understanding the people behind the events. Dr. Onóris believes he’s a tremendous help to Isadora, and he feels very proud whenever she gets a detail right thanks to his constant interjections.

Sphinx

The Sphinx is a mythical figure from Greek mythology, with the body of a lion, eagle wings, and the head of a woman. She serves as the guardian of truth in the Passado da Hora museum, ensuring that no false information is spread. To exit the museum, visitors must answer a question posed by her correctly. If they get it right, the doors open; if they get it wrong, they may just become her snack.
