@tkinias @CitizenWald A friend told me he realized only very recently that various 19th-century cultural icons (the "old West," Sherlock Holmes, samurai [in certain settings], etc.) were or would have been contemporaneous. A lot of people only ever learn history as totally disconnected "time periods" that turn everything into a kind of mystical totem rather than a thing in (or a piece of fiction pretending to be in) a real and interconnected world.
