這些歷史事件居然是同時發生?我已凌亂

When we try to put historical events into perspective, we often simplistically divide things into 'old days' and 'modern times,' because our brains can often struggle with the concept of time. But what happens when things that you would consider to belong to the contemporary world are actually much older than we think? It jolts us out of our comfortable categorization and forces us to reasses the way we percieve history. That can only be a good thing, right? We here at Bored Panda have compiled a series of historical events that surprisingly took place at more or less the same time, and will make you think twice about how you look at the past. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and prepare to have your mind blown!

人類的大腦一遇到“時間”這個概念往往就要抓狂,正因如此,當我們想要從宏觀的歷史概念來審視某些單個的歷史事件時,大腦往往會簡單的把這些事件劃分成“古代”的事情和“現代”的事情。不過,如果我告訴你,那些你認爲發生在當代的事情其實比你想象的年代久遠的多,不知你會作何感想?這無疑會讓我們簡單的歷史分類法受到震撼,讓我們不得不反思自己的歷史觀。吾日三省吾身,這也不失爲一件好事。我們整理了一組相互對照的歷史事件,這些事件發生的時間相差無幾,一定會讓你大吃一驚,重新審視自己對歷史的認知。
