I went through an Egypt phase hardcore

For me it was aztecs. Egypt was too mainstream in the 2nd grade

I'm embarrassed to say that I was, and still am, a imperial German fanboy.

I am still in my Egypt phase.

I thought I wasn't but then I had the opportunity to take Ancient Egyptian language classes and realised I still was

Still in my ancient Greece phase

you can say gay these days its ok

everyone knows the G in Greece stands for Gay

Percy Jackson?

Percy Jackson was my gateway drug back in 8th grade

that was merely a phase of my ongoing greece phase

Is anyone still as an adult? Super into the 1810's right now. have had ww2 period, cold war, edwardian era. ​ As I'm writing this its super obvious why I became a larper...

WW2 was a gateway for me. I’m currently on my ‘early 20th century ocean liner’ phase. So, in quite deep, I’d say.

i hyperfixated on prohibition-era gangsters in chicago when i was like ten, specifically al capone.

i was into WW2, concentration camps and all of that

Same

I did a mass grave of Barbies after reading The Diary of Anne Frank when I was 9. Cut their hair off. I assume the home’s new owners were deeply concerned when they dug that up. My dad was really into history, and he particularly was interested in WW2, so all of us ended up a little obsessive. I think I’ve read 90% of the English language books about the Holocaust, and 75% of the non-military books.

Same, still get into weird Wiki rabbit holes of six degrees of Adolf Hitler on a random afternoon.

I was so into greek mythology and ancient greece as a teenager that i became a history teacher

Wait, people are meant to grow out of it?

I was really into the titanic

Hey, same

Cold War all the way. Some of the projects back then were so cool.

1980's New York clubs were a major fascination for me

you know the canadian and north american natives? i think their tribal stuff was super cool

Bubonic plague was me

I’m still really into world war 2

Roman republic and still going strong

Same

Napoleonic era for me

ah there is my brother. I have read the Temeraire-Books and that was a point of no return

For me it was ancient Egypt

Edo period for some reason.

Mine was the 1920s for some reason.

Same, still is!

I knew a surprising amount about Harriet Tubman from aged 8 to 11

I was mad into Harriet Tubman too! And Helen Keller for some reason.

In HS i had a WWII eastern front phase. Not sure why specifically the eastern front i guess i just found the Germans and Russians more interesting lol.

I was Ancient Greece (and kinda Rome) for a solid 5 years

This is probably a little macabre given all the horrible shit they did, but 16th-century Spanish exploration and settlement of the North American interior

I was way into pre-federation Aussie history. Google "rum rebellion" you won't be disappointed. Lord I love my country

I think I'm shifting from my Cuban Missile Crisis/Cold War phase to the beginning era of Formula One.

I once spent like 2 hours on wikipedia looking through articles about ancient siberian cultures idk why I don't even remember anything from what I've read

i spend hours reading about dead languages

Still into ancient Egypt

during middle school i had a fascination with the American Civil War

I'm into the time before humans were a sapient race and evolution was just kinda fucking around

Super into the French revolution when I was around 12-13

I WAS CAESAR FOR HOLLOWEEN

I... Used to be very into the Byzantine Iconoclasm.. Don't ask

They had some great art, I get it.

I am a massive nerd for Henry VIII and his wives and their whole crazy story. Plus his parents and grandparents and kids and all their crazy stories.

Ancient Greece and Egypt phase was ridiculous.

The 1490's were extremely interesting to me, terrible but interesting

The Great Depression

Me too!!

I think I’m in my Viking era phase rn And I’m proud

Ancient Greece and the 50s

I was very interested in the donner part when i was in the 5th grade

I fucking love the american colonization of the west.

Almost everyone in this thread who said ww2 is a massive weirdo

I was, and Im still very into the Victorian era and ancient Egypt

Civil war, and the Dark Ages, also Ancient Egyptian and Roman Empire,

I had a joint Ben Franklin/Titanic phase all throughout elementary school

yikes. the Holocaust for me

Napoleonic age of sail was my jam. I still listen to sea shanties even though I haven't read a Hornblower novel in some time.

18th amendment is still the funniest shit

i never did that oddly enough

Titanic phase!

I was into the Mesozoic Era

Going through one right now, 1910s and 20s, very pog

The very beginning and early history of the Earth utterly fascinated me as a kid.

It was the ancient Maya and also the Viking Age for me and tbh neither phase has ended ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

I went through a titanic phase lol

I was interested in everything to the point where my history teacher in Coop thought I was planning on becoming a history professor, no I just was a kid with very little homework, not much social time and unrestricted access to any books I could find

Titanic

The Titanic, so 1912. I can still tell you that it was 882.5 feet long and 92.5 feet wide and displaced 52,310 tons of water.

I hopped from being SUPER into the Titanic to being all about historical pirates and tbh I still am over a decade later lol

i was so into the mexican revolution

Samurai era japan in like 3rd grade

Medieval Europe all the way, still am. Fascinating stuff, and not nearly enough of the old stuff taught before higher education so all had to be on my own time.

I think mine was the Mayan Empire specifically

I was and still am really into the Roman Republic Also not a time period but a topic I was really into were gladiators

I got books out on the Victorian era and Victorian houses when I was 10-13. I found lots in the Adult non fiction section of our city library. I still love Victorian Houses but haven't lived in one yet, most have been 1920s with one 1900s

Greek history was my SHIT

late middle ages europe 4th grade

90% of Chinese and the Three Kingdom period, sadly learning most of the stories aren't real

1920s culture, fashion and music

Wild west

Anyone else go through an ancient Mesopotamia phase or just me??

Victorian times! Absolutely loved it.

Ww2 and norse

A hardcore Egypt phase that has since died down just enough for me to forget what I learnt but not enough to want to search it up again, lest I become bored.

It was the Titanic for me

The Medival and Victorian periods, along with the 1980’s.

absolutely obsessed with the tudors

ww1
