Rec | THE 19TH CENTURY

⭐

i've been a 20th century head for many years. Reading about the 19th century has been appalling but a lot of things actually make a lot of sense!!

REMEMBERING THAT WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDST OF IT

I'm going through a bunch of early colonial artworks right now and it's so wild to see how much more we know compared to a few hundred years ago where Europeans were just starting to categorise things around them. But there's still much unknown to us (I guess us in this sense being Western scientific paradigm) and still so much research that can be done and things to be found on earth, just felt wild that we're in this period where it feels like everything has been discovered when that's not true!!

Get into History

Like so many people, I never cared for history. It was always just a bunch of dates, cause-and-effect relationships, and names I had to memorize last minute before an exam. Now that I’m so many years separated from all that, I’ve finally found that I’m entering the pro-history phase of my life. I mean, it’s just so interesting. There’s such finite details available about everything, and sooo many different little niches with tons of resources equally as available as the obvious stuff. oh and it’s true, which is both terrifying and cool.

Ancient meditarranean empires

In retrospect horrible people, but a product of their times. However reading first person accounts of the ongoings of those days are truly awe inspiring.
