History Memes

I highly recommend Ibn Battuta's travelogue! It's riddled with his own local prejudices, of course, but it's a really fantastic insight into a great swathe of the medieval world, including parts of Africa.

I want a new image format just for the iceberg memes

Basic HTML+PNG+CSS(optional, if it's the it'll use it's on CSS to make sure it renders there same way everywhere, and without it, it'll use the CSS on the site so it matches styles)+no JS

IE, you can embed links and text on an image. and I can click them at will.

Other uses, I can send you a business card as an image, and you can click it.

Or pico8 cartridges you can click to go to play on a browser.

Or watermarks that you an click and go straight to them OF from the picture....

and that is only the ideas I just came up with on the spot.

Fun fact! Modern Tanzania (just north of Mozambique) was the furthest regular port visited by Roman trade ships departing from Egypt, a trip which took three months down the coast, and then three months back to Egypt - assuming favorable timing with the winds!

I hit one topic in 7 by pure Romabooism, but realistically speaking, my knowledge rarely passes 4-5.

Ibn Battuta is surprisingly high up on the iceberg, but his travelogue really is a fantastic read.

My deepest is the vandal kingdom, but I know very little from the levels around. I just like the period of great migration.
