Reddit Asks the Question: 'Which Historical Things Surprisingly Existed At the Same Time?'

We all know that the older you get, the less time makes sense. It’s fascinating to think about what we consider to have happened long ago, and what seems more recent. That’s true in our personal lives, as well as in history. There are just some things that feel old, like they belong to a completely distinct time period, while others reek of modernity—and yet, very often, that’s all just a matter of perception, personal bias, and collective storytelling. Reddit had this topic on its mind the other day when it asked the question: ‘Which historical things surprisingly existed at the same time?’ You can check out the full thread here, but below are some highlights:
