Let's face it, unless you're a historian none of us really know enough about history because a.) we didn't really pay much attention in high school history class, and b.) high school teachers didn't exactly give us a great rundown of the entire world (where was African history?). As is such, please enjoy these educational memes (and then these afterward) that we think you're gonna like.
Historical
Here's a fun bit of incredibly random trivia for you: on January 14th, 1784, the United States Congress of the Confederation ratified the Treaty of Paris, which marked the end of the Revolutionary War. Seems like prime time to celebrate, doesn't it? And what better way to celebrate America's independence that with memes!
We love nerding out over history pics and trivia tidbits. If you're also into that kind of thing, then you'll definitely love these photos that show different angles of well-known historical events that you almost certainly haven't seen before.
Go check out Life in Moments on Twitter for more fascinating pics from history!
If you're a high school student who loathes going to your history class every day, then you may want to try some history memes instead. They're far more interesting than sitting in your boring class or strolling through an equally boring museum. Just take our word for it and scroll at your leisure.
Instead of going to a boring museum or reading a tedious textbook in your art history class, suggest to your teacher that you review some of these classical art memes instead. Will they help you actually learn about art history? Probably not, but they are funny and relatable, so what's the harm in that?
Whenever any old person complains about how life today is "so violent" or that this generation is "going downhill," all you have to do is show them a few of these memes, which show how incredibly f*cked up people were in the past. Like, damn, at least we don't burn people at the stake for being witches anymore!
This gallery has a little bit of everything when it comes to history. We've got your medieval history, WWII history, Revolutionary War history, ancient history, etc.
We just hope you can learn a thing or two from these memes, unlike your 10th grade history class where the teacher just talked about his divorce for an hour straight every day...
What do you think of when you hear the name "Cleopatra"? Most of us probably think of her as being a wily temptress with a bit of a man-eating habit, but according to this Twitter thread, there was even more crazy sh*t going on in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt!
We can bet that history buffs will really get a kick out of this Twitter thread written by Anne Theriault!
This gallery is for those who are fascinated by both medieval history and dumb classical art memes! We're fans of the artwork created during that time, but that doesn't mean it isn't completely and utterly WTF. And of course, if you want even more weird classical art memes, check out eBaum's World!
If we're just going by the artwork created, the middle ages were a f*cking strange time, but we're kind of a fan given how many great memes have resulted from it.
These memes contain a solid mix of bizarre art, interesting history tidbits and of course, trebuchets - because memes about Medieval times wouldn't be complete without those.
This batch of classical art memes is a little more on the cynical side - just the way we like 'em! We've got your Jesus, Revolutionary War era, and of course weird-looking animals (did no one know what a cat looked like back then...?). We hope you enjoy them just as much as we do.
Come one, come all for this roundup of fascinating history memes that we've gathered up for those of you who find yourselves wanting that sweet knowledge. Only it's better than anything you learned in your high school history class, because history memes also provide entertainment in the form of comedy!
We're all familiar with the story of Mulan from the classic '90s Disney movie, but what you probably didn't know is the lesser-known tale of Captain Li Shang questioning his sexuality. Being the '90s and all, people weren't as comfortable talking about different sexual orientations as we are now, but the story is finally coming out of the closet! (sorry.)
All jokes aside, please enjoy this hilarious retold version of Mulan!
Classical art memes are...well a...classic if we're being honest. They'll never go out of style and we are a-okay with that because we thinking they're hysterical. They're particularly amusing when paired with adult or totally inflammatory jokes, and we've got lots of that in this gallery, so go ahead and enjoy!
