History. This is a really big word, a lofty and important term. Memes. That is also a big word. When you bring them together? That's two words. The history memes come from Reddit's /r/historymemes.
History memes have been growing in popularity lately, and you'll soon see why, because these are some of the most oddly understandable memes for any former student of history out there. And since that's pretty much all of us, you don't have to be an expert to look back on these memorable moments in history and see the humor in these memes. Here are ten of our favorites.
How It Done Was
(Source: Reddit)
If you know, you know. The person to ask is Crassus. How could they have betrayed the trust of the citizenry like that, my brother in Jupiter?
Vibing Up Above
It is common knowledge that the Egyptian gods were not actually animal-human hybrids, but extraterrestrial beings from the Alpha Centauri star system. Don't let them close your eyes to the truth.
Healthy Bloodlines
You see, at the end of the day royalty around the world were simply the descendants of ancient unions between aliens and humans that produced a class of alien-human hybrids which exercised power in the ancient world.
How To Approach History
There is a third path: aliens did everything.
The Original Finance Bros
The only reason humans valued gold in the first place was because it is a necessary part for maintaining spaceships, and the aliens hired our ancestors to mine it for them. Earth was sort of like a cosmic Jiffy Lube for ancient astronauts.
Critique Of The Sub Itself
Reddit's /r/historymemes tends to exclude alternative points of view. The mods keep things civil, sane, and rational. Exactly how the Alpha Centaurans wanted it all those millennia ago. They might still be here. Did they ever leave? Who would know. They don't want you to know. What is history other than an agreed-upon set of deceptions, written by the victors in the shifting sands of collective memory?
For The Tankies
KnowYourMeme does not endorse the ancient astronaut theory, for the record.
History Repeats Itself
