This map isn’t accurate, for example elephants where used in an attack on Saudi Arabia (mecca) by aksumites, the same guys who invaded the southern bit of the Arabian peninsula
Careful pal, I’m a mod who rules this map meme sub with an iron fist. Watch what you say or you’re going to map jail, for map crimes. 😡
What did the labels say before you blurred them to the point of non-readability?
Ah thanks! I didn’t know where to find the original meme from the Tumblr post that I had snipped from my friend’s Instagram story and then uploaded to imgur so I could post it on Lemmy.
Reddit doesn’t let me use it anymore because I use a vpn. Anyone got a direct link?
Finally, a decent fucking post
Red is elephant regularly used for at least serval years. Yellow is a one off or in small numbers only.
There are two accounts of Greek historians describing the usage of war elephants in Britain by the Roman empire. Cassius Dio says that Claudius used them in 43 CE, and Polyaenus says that Julius Caesar did in 54 BCE. These accounts are both very brief and have not been backed uo by any physical evidence or other accounts of the same situation. Not even Caesar, a prolific author himself, says that he used elephants in Britain
It would be fucking wild if it did happen though. That elephant would have travelled farther than nearly any human alive at the time
A good time to go to the pub, have a point, and Wait for this to all blow over.
