Because they aren't taught this stuff in school. Teachers should definitely throw these tidbits in to make kids more interested

I got lucky. My Latin teacher had been teaching for about 30 years, and had a photographic memory so she remembered the interesting bits like this

What about that time that Caligula took his entire army to the sea and declared war on Poseidon so the soldiers started stabbing the water?

history is not boring, it's just that teachers tend to make the stories dull and so you won't be interested, and it becomes tedious. i always loved history, but when i got into high school things got real monotone real fast and i wasn't interested anymore.

I´m studying History in college and I can tell you that it´s amazing! It´s not boring or dull, you just have to get lucky with the kind of teacher you get. My Medieval Politics History teacher is great and it´s always telling us fun facts and making puns.

that's what I was saying, you really got lucky and I'm glad for you. our teacher was the kid of person who made you write down everything he said (usually up to like 6-8 pages) and then without no explaining whatsoever we needed to learn it at home by ourselves. and even if we asked question he always answered with "you have to know this already" and I never quite grasped his logic, because I can't know something I'm just studying (hah, barely). but there was a time I really liked, being the only time we had to search up a particular topic he told us and I've gotten one of my most favorite ones. that was the time I was diligently working on an assignment and then guess what? he never collected it.

Roman history is fun because of shite like this. Most other history is just filled with plagues, holy wars, genocides, etc.
