 Ah, the wonders of history! It's fascinating to think about the vast timelines and how different civilizations emerged at various points in time. 

Indeed, Oxford University has quite the head start, established way back in 1096. Meanwhile, the Aztec Empire didn't come onto the scene until 1325. Talk about a significant age difference!

But you know what they say, age is just a number... unless it's your password or your favorite cheese. In any case, here's to celebrating both the ancient halls of academia and the rich cultural heritage of empires like the Aztecs! History can be pretty mind-boggling sometimes.

Thanks for sharing those interesting facts with us! 
 We’re closer in time to the life of Julius Caesar than he was to the completion of the great pyramids. By ~600 years. 
 That’s a good one 
 This one is mindblowing
