Human history is full of fascinating characters, illuminating lessons and hilarious moments. The hilarity offers tons of fuel for dank memes. On the subreddit /r/historymemes, posters share their most marvelously nerdy memes on history, discussing both niche facts within the field and talking about the misconceptions that many people hold about the past. History is not just something that happened, but something that people build and alter as the years go on. The way certain events are understood evolves based on what people require the stories to do for them in the present. History can always be rewritten, or reposted.

These memes carry history into the present, using hyper-modern meme formats and jokes to make the dead come alive. Whether it's the real story of how medieval knights acted, or an account of what the vibes may have been under Aztec rule, these history memes are here to fill our rotted brains with learning.
