Hi everyone! This is a subreddit dedicated to bringing ancient history into a new, modern and fully enjoyable light through memes! We welcome with open arms every conceivable meme from every conceivable culture or group from before the end of the 5th century CE. This means extensive new opportunities for meme-making in regards to Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, Persia, Nubia, China, Mesoamerica and many, many more!

Here are a few rules you should follow in order for everyone here to have the best experience possible:

  1. Follow reddiquette and the rules of reddit.

  2. No memes about any event after the year 500 CE unless it directly connects to an event prior to the year 500 CE.

  3. No spam

  4. This is quite important - the untagged reposting of any content not your own is a bannable offence, as it is seen as plagiarism in the eyes of the creator of the subreddit. Remember, if you'd like to post something other than your own own content, you absolutely still can, just please either give due credit to the original creator (simply by a username mention) or crosspost it! (:

  5. We encourage the usage of both posting links and your own self-text posts, as at any time you can discuss ancient history, the state of the subreddit or what different reforms can be made in order for the sub to constantly improve!

  6. The posting of highly exclusionary or offensive content in regards to any group or individual is grounds for an immediate ban. Doing so more than once will certainly mean a full and permanent ban.

  7. No harassment

  8. Just remember to have fun, and try not to hold any serious grudges towards any historical group or individual, as remember, it's all ancient history!

  9. You’re required to add (in comment form) a short, easily understandable description of the events that form the subject matter of your memes. I also encourage that you add one equally easily understandable link, preferably to a Wikipedia article. Also, memes on extremely basic, self-explanatory subjects will not require descriptions (but I’ll be the final judge of that, so I’d still recommend always posting a description just to be safe.

From what I’ve learned about Classical Greece, this has happened more than a few times. Excuses may vary.

Hadrian's Wall But It's "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark"

Drunk Ancient History Idea

 "Drunk Ancient History '' is pretty much the same as regular Drunk History but instead focuses on events in Ancient History (3000 BC – 500 AD) as well as legends and folktales. A drunk person tries to explain a story with comedians and actors trying to reenact stuff and say and do whatever the narrator wants.

If people in the Ancient World swore like today.

Ancient Rome

(A Roman's leg is being waxed)

Roman 1: (screaming in pain) By Jupiter's cock! That wax is hotter than Hades's bitch

Roman 2: (holding the waxing stick) Hold still, Gaius. No need for such bitching and moaning.

Roman 1: Easy for you to say, Titus. You try having your fucking legs waxed!

(Ancient Greece)

(Two Greeks are at a stadium)

Greek 1: (booing loudly) Boo! You call that a javelin throw? I've seen better aim from a blind fucking Cyclops!

Greek 2: Yeah, and your chariot driving skills are worse than a drunken Satyr!

Greek 1: Boo! You're shit. Get out of the fucking stadium.

(Ancient Egypt)

Egyptian 1: (haggling with a merchant) This price is as ridiculous as a one-eyed Sphinx! I won't pay a scarab shit more!

Egyptian 2: Oh, Ra's eye! Just buy it already and stop fucking moaning!

(Nubians battling Axumites)

Nubian Soldier: (engaged in combat) Watch your back, you Axumite ass! I'll send you out of Meroe in a basket!

Axumite Soldier: You'll need more than that spear, you Nubian goat fuckers! Come and get me, if you have the stones! I'm going to blaze Meroe and get some fuck you money so fuck you.

Nubian Soldier: Fuck... you.

(Mayan City)

Mayan 1: (frustrated) Ah, for the love of the maize gods! Why won't this temple stone fit?

Mayan 2: Because you're as useful as a headless serpent, that's why!

Mayan 1: "headless serpent"? Are you describing me or my dick.

Mayan 2: Don't lie. Admit it - you fuck inside the temple.

Mayan 1: You don't?

(Assyrian battle)

Assyrian: I WILL END YOU! I WILL FUCKING END YOU! BURN IN HELL! HAAAAAAAAAAA.

I send a pestilence and plague into your house into your bed into your streams into your streets into your drink into your bread upon your cattle, upon your oxen in your fields, into your dreams into your sleep until you break until you yield! Thus Saith the Lord!

Some video I've watched.

I watched this movie and I think it has something special, quite universal but also nicely explains it.
