History is made every day, and some historical events are lucky enough to be made into memes many years later. Yes, it's true — there's nothing better than being immortalized in the form of an internet meme. Sure, it's probably more helpful to learn about history in a textbook and from a trained expert on the subject matter, but history memes are pretty great too. They're like 90 percent as good, probably.

That's what we've got for you here — memes about the people of yesterday. From Sigmund Freud's psychology to Genghis Khan's horrifyingly large extended family, these memes are sure to make you appreciate history in an entirely new way. One even points out that if it weren't for the collapse of the Roman empire, we could all very well be typing in Latin right now! Like we said, history memes are pretty cool. Once you've had enough of these history memes, check out more history memes to continue feeling smarter than the average meme enjoyed. Learning is fun — especially when memes are involved.
