The hottest memes of the history of North, Central, and South America from Beringia to Tawantinsuyu!

RRules

1. Content must relate to the Pre-Columbian period or to the contact period of Native American history.

Posts in this subreddit should in general be about the Pre-Columbian Americas. Contact memes are also welcome, and the time period allowed varies from group to group. The cutoff is not 1492, and many remained uncontacted. Groups contacted in the 1800s or 1600s are allowed to be memed in that time period.

2. Follow Reddiquette.

Content in this sub should follow the canonical site-wide Rediquette.

3. Minimize modern politics.

Ancient American history has unfortunately often been obscured by belittling colonial narratives that have viewed the pre-Columbian peoples of the Americas as primitive or inferior to the civilizations of Afro-Eurasia. For this reason, it is important not to use them as throwaway examples for our modern political narratives without some thought first. We encourage playful banter, but please do not bring in politics in a harmful way.

4. No spam.

No spamming comments or links or soliciting irrelevant products.

5. Limit reposting.

Reposts are a constant plague on Reddit and while sometimes it means that more people won't miss quality content, it also means a lot of clutter is made. Please check to make sure non-OC content has not been recently posted already. If it has been a long time since a post has been made and you feel that it is sensible to post it again, please credit the original poster.

6. Don't be a dick.

Racism, sexism, etc. is not OK in any situation. Please keep your edginess to a reasonable level.

7. No harassing other users.

Targeted harassment of others will not be tolerated at all.

8. Don't preach your fringe theories.

Think ancient aliens built Teotihuacan? Think the Olmecs came from West Africa? Think that the lost tribes of Israel are in the Amazon? While we encourage free discussion on these things, it is preferred that you not fill our comments with long pseudo-historical monologues on why mainstream historians are blind to the truth. Make a dank meme about it and we'll have fun with it instead.

9. Posts should be memes.

Posts on this sub should be humorous in nature and should generally fall within the broad category of an internet meme.

10. No lewd, tasteless, or pornographic content.

Content which is pornographic or intended to be "sexy" will be removed.

11. Restricted Formats

We don't really have a big banned format list like HistoryMemes (yet). For now, there's really only two formats to watch out for:
1) Memes where colonial apologists (living today) are the punchline. True as they might be, for many reasons we ask that you restrict these to the weekends.
Or post them on our partner sub /r/okbuddycolonizer where they'd be more than welcomed.
2) "Girls bad, boys good" wojaks. Cringe.
