It's no secret that women's standards of beauty are constantly changing.

A new video via BuzzFeed shows just how much the "ideal" female body type—as imposed by their societies' standards of beauty—has changed throughout history, beginning 3,000 years ago during the time of the ancient Egyptians all the way to the 2000s and almost every major era in between.
