This thread is about interesting historic chronology. We used to have very fun threads about this. From memory, as an example:>Oxford university was founded the same time as the first crusades>Oxford was 200 years old when the Mongols invaded EuropeI think there was another interesting fact like wooly mammoths exists when the pyramids were built? Anyway, post fun timeline facts
>>18461205Pablo Picasso and Eminem were both alive at the same time
>>18461209fucking hell thats wild
>>18461205Cleopatra lived closer to the invention of the iPhone than to the construction of the pyramids.
>>18461205>The last Samurai rebellion happened the same year the lightbulb was invented. >the fax machine is older than the Eiffel Tower>The first commercial airplane flight happened only 11 years after the Wright brothers’ first flight. >Queen Elizabeth II and Marilyn Monroe were the same age>Stegosaurus lived closer in time to humans than to T. rex
The last independent Maya city-states and kingdoms only fell to the Spanish in 1697, after the 13 American colonies had been established and a few years after the Salem Witch TrialsIf you define the creation of Spain as the union of the kingdoms of Castile and Aargon, then it was founded a few decades after the Aztec Empire>>18461205>only including the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Inca for the Precolumbian Americas>treating the Americas as a single section and not splittiing North and South Americait's shit
>>18461278>If you define the creation of Spain as the union of the kingdoms of Castile and Aargon, then it was founded a few decades after the Aztec EmpireYou can use the same logic to argue that the United States is currently the oldest country in the world if you compare its founding to the last time other countries had a radical change in government
>>18461297I don't know much about Spanish history so honestly I have very little context for how valid what I said is as a founding date for Spain as a modern nation.But as I understand it, it's one of the earliest possible founding dates for Spain that's not overly contrived? So it shouldn't undermine the fact too much
>>18461239>Stegosaurus
jeets were eating shit even at the time of Alexander
>>18461390Jews were the Persian ruling class which in turn created Latins.
>>18461209Had to look this up to check. Wtf. But it was only for barely a year.
>>18461209People consider Pablo Picasso old guard or something? I think there are better examples than him.
>>18461209>Pablo Picassodrew dick pics
>>18461205>historic chronologyfake and made up
>>18463021True, the Phantom Time theory is the real deal.
>>18463096
>>18461239You have Stegosaurus and Trex backwards, it's:>Trex lived closer in time to humans than to Stegosaurus.
>>18462999He was famous before even WW1. He grew up in a world where most of the population were still farmers, electricity didn't exist outside a few big cities, and nations were still ruled by kings and aristocracies. That's firmly in the realm of the historical for most people.
>>18461205I am always surprised about how fast techonology and cultural trends evolved in this last century. Basically how a person born in the 1890s could have read in the news about the first documented flights in the 1900s, the first world war, the interwar period, the second world war, the cold war and so on. And how if such person survived the 90s, it could also have lived the rise and end of the Soviet Union and the Communist Bloc.Also, this person could have seen the evolution of the media, from the newspaper to the radio, to the TV, to the Internet, and so on.Machines that became of everyday use but were fantastic wonders in its day like the car, the washing machine, the microwave, the telephone, PC, the cellphones, and things like that.And seen all the subcultures that emerged and died in such years, from the beatniks and bohemians to the hippies, goths and punks.
