Welcome, nerds of all backgrounds. The geek and nerd world is so vast; there are so many topics to obsess over, hyper-fixate on, learn everything about, and make your entire personality. There are anime nerds who seem to have watched every anime known to man (AND read the manga) and are now on a hunt for the most niche content possible. There are fantasy nerds who spend the week getting all the details right for an intricate DND campaign and host a whole event complete with snacks, costumes, background music, and sound effects when the role play group finally meets up. Then, there are history nerds. While there are some broad history buffs, many prefer to pick a niche, such as Mesopotamia, Ancient Greece, or Edo period Japan. A step further lands you in the territory of prehistory nerds - those interested in a time before written language, before farming, and from when the Earth had enough oxygen to sustain amazing megafauna.

What do all these types of nerds have in common? They all love intelligent, silly, and niche memes pertaining to their interest of choice. If you love all things that need to be carbon dated, enjoy these ancient memes below.
