22 Hilariously Accurate History Memes for History Buffs Fueled by the Facts

Human history is fascinating. Amok with turmoil, betrayal, adventure, and excitement, humans have done a good job of filling the pages of the humanity handbook with plenty of debauchery and juicy tales. As if humankind can hardly resist strife, there's never a dull moment in the story of the ancients, and no matter what time period you're looking at, there's always a Hamlet-style drama to keep the historical soup spicy. 

That's why we love history. 

And no, not the History Channel, but real, nitty gritty history. The kind of revolutionary boringness that logs the passage of time and the growth of humanity over the ages. While human nature is largely unchanged - since we are a vindictive, jealous, and savage bunch - at least we know the history textbooks of the future will be a darn good read. 

Perhaps some of these memes will make the cut in the stories of Man, detailing the hilariously accurate depictions of legendary auras like Cleopatra, Napoleon, Caesar, Martin Luther King, and of course, a modern favorite - David Attenborough.
