Possums of History Calendar

Witness the most pivotal moments in human history as they actually happened—with possums. This one-of-a-kind calendar reimagines the great turning points of civilisation through the lens of Earth's oldest surviving marsupial, a creature that has been around for at least 70 million years and literally lived alongside the dinosaurs. From the ancient world to the space age, possums were there. The journey begins in antiquity, where a clever possum oversees the construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza, not as a slave, but as the project manager who invented the 30-day month and the 360-day calendar that the Egyptian priests kept "profoundly secret". Fast forward to 1776, and a Continental Army possum stands tall in George Washington's boat, braving the icy Delaware River for the pivotal Christmas Day crossing that turned the tide of the American Revolution. The march of progress continues to July 20, 1969, where a possum in a tiny spacesuit plants a flag on the lunar surface, beating Neil Armstrong by a few steps and casually photobombing one of humanity's greatest achievements. This calendar is the perfect gift for history buffs with a sense of humour, fans of absurdist art, and anyone who suspects that the official records have been leaving out the most important detail. Each month features a beautifully illustrated, historically "accurate" possum scene, complete with fun facts that are definitely true.
