Is there truly anything better than making yourself a giant mug of Earl Grey, cracking open a huge history book, and diving headfirst into the past while listening to the sound of rain outside your window? Seriously, that’s the perfect way to spend a cozy afternoon. However, we’re perfectly aware that not everyone’s a fan of dusty old tomes full of dates and cryptic paragraphs longer than summer evenings. Luckily for the internet, the ‘History Memes Explained’ Instagram project exists.
The brainchild of Cole Crosby, ‘History Memes Explained’ does exactly what it says on the tin: it shares awesome, weird, and interesting history-related memes while explaining the entire context. It’s fun. It’s educational. It’s seriously hard to put down. You really start to realize just how peculiar the past is, as you start cutting through misconceptions, one spot-on meme at a time.
