We’re well into the work week folks, so you know what that means – it’s time for more memes. Feel like a true ivory tower scholar by scrolling through these 11 history memes. This gallery here could cause even the stuffiest academics to crack a smile.

Like, what a way to completely ignore the plethora of achievements a culture’s made. I get that human sacrifice is pretty hard to ignore, but come on. Europeans literally wore dentures made of baby teeth.

All these memes make me feel like I’m back in IB History again.
Honestly, I don’t hate it. It’s like looking at a car crash that happened a really long time ago – the effects of which we’re still experiencing to this day! Maybe if we scroll enough, we can get honorary PhDs.
