Deceit
I've spent years thinking I was bad at memorizing dates in history classes. But you know what? I'm quite good at it. I'm good with numbers; I don't know how I deceived myself for so many years.

It seems to me that the key to appreciating historical dates is their relationships: the Crab Nebula supernova was the same year as the Catholics split from the Orthodox; Roger Bacon died only 20 years after Aquinas; Columbus discovered the New World a mere 52 years after Gutenberg demonstrated movable type; Abraham, Moses, David, Ezra and Jesus lived at roughly 500-year intervals. I like picking dates as pegs and working from there.
