25 Ancient History Memes That Tell Stories of Eras Past

It is crazy to think about it, but only 1.6% of human history has actually been recorded because we have only been able to write for the past few thousand years. Perhaps part of the reason that we don't miss it is that the stuff that got accounted for during the periods of time that we now classify as ancient is such a wild ride. Thousands of years and countless societies in all different parts of the world fall under the varied umbrella, leading to lots of different stories—and plenty of material for memes. From those who can't stop thinking about the Roman Empire to the individuals who had a weirdly intense Greek Mythology phase as a kid, there is a subgenre of ancient history meme for just about everyone. The people who lived all those thousands of years ago probably weren't that different from you or I.
