ancient 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.

Some people are twentieth-century history nerds, and others geek out over ancient history - these memes are for the latter. And who doesn't like a nice little dose of ancient Rome every once in a while?

If you're someone who is convinced that the past was just a better time, just take a gander through these memes and you'll know that that wasn't exactly the case. Now please enjoy!

Gather 'round kids because we're about to give you a nice big helping of historical knowledge in the form of memes, which is always vastly more interesting than any history class you could ever sit through!

These memes are for the history buffs and lovers of folklore. Ancient Greece was a fricken wild place according to the mythology alone, so it's no wonder that so many historians and nerds alike are completely fascinated by it!

If you love history as much as we do, then you're definitely going to love these educational memes that span from the ancient days to the Cold-War era. They're certainly more entertaining than sitting in your boring college history lecture.

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...

You don't need to feel guilty for perusing these history memes. They're basically like going to school or watching a public television show about our ancestors. Go ahead. They're educational. 

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!

We think history can be really fascinating, but we also understand that learning it out of a textbook is boring as heck. If you're a high school history teacher reading this, then you should definitely start utilizing memes in your everyday lessons if you want students to retain the information better. Who else agrees?

Most of you probably spend the bulk of your day scrolling through low-effort shitposts and banal relatable content. Why not up the ante a little and look at some memes that could potentially make you smarter? 

For more history memes, check out this delightfully dank and educational roundup.

There's really only so much one can take of reading through boring historytextbooks for hours on end. At some point you just stop retaining any information and your mind wanders to what you're planning to eat for dinner. Instead of enduring that crippling boredom, browse through these history memes for some added comedy!
