By anachronism what do you mean

I’d assume the creator of this meme meant that what little knowledge “history nerds” have outside of Europe is vastly disorganized, they may know the names of dynasties in China but not their orders, or also just lumping together vastly different things like the early medieval Persians and the Caliphates, because, from the western perspective, both are just “evil eastern enemies of Rome”

History outside of Europe and Asia is typically less well documented and reliable though

True, but there is still a lot to learn

Polynesian history for one is very well known and very interesting, the issue is that it’s generally irrelevant so most people will never know how awesome it is

Also post-colonial history of other places is still super interesting and I think that’s also overlooked

dude I think it's quite easy to see that a person with bad history knowledge that claims to like history would get the order of the events wrong

I was asking for a specific case where it happened commonly because otherwise this is all abstraction and just complaining about a eurocentric perspective of history

my point is it's not easy to remember the exact order of historical events so a person with less knowledge would most likely get the order wrong. you don't need to see a specific case to see this
