Perspective

Two journals in one day
So I was watching these two way surreal videos by buzzfeed video, and they brought up a few points that as a lover of history, I couldn't help to but to have my mind blown a little.

Here are some of the things they brought up:
Cleopatra actually lived closer to our time period then the time period the Pyramids were built
Oxford University was built before the Aztecs came about
France stopped using the guillotine the same year Star Wars episode IV came out (1977)
Mammoths went extinct a thousand years after the the building of the Pyramids (meaning that Cleopatra lived even closer to them then to us!)
The last time the Chicago Cubs (baseball team) won the World Series (most poorly named series ever), the Ottoman Empire was still a thing

Thinking about that, I couldn't help but to think of other historical things we consider to be from completely different eras that actually occurred at the same time. For example, when the US first gained independence, the Holy Roman Empire was still around; The last successor to the Mongol Empire, died during the Russian Revolution (Emirate of Bukhara, died 1920). Any other historical oddities you can think of?
