Some of these are taken from Reddit, but I'll try to pepper this with some of my own.
-2000 B.C.: Wooly mammoths still inhabited Wrangel Island while the Great Pyramid of Giza was being built in Egypt (and no, there's no grain stored in it).
-1811 A.D.: Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro presented his theory of gas law (Avogadro's Law) when the last recorded witch burning, the burning of Barbara Zdunk, occurred in Prussia.
-1885 A.D.: French scientists Louis Pasteur and Emile Roux perform the first successful rabies vaccination a few months before Dr. Pepper is first officially served to the public in the United States.
-1888 A.D.: Nintendo was founded in Japan while Jack the Ripper was still on the prowl in the United Kingdom.
-1908 A.D.: Chicago Cubs accomplished their most recent World Series victory the same month that Bulgaria gained independence from the Ottoman Empire.
-1940 A.D.: The first wave of prisoners was being escorted into the Auschwitz concentration camps just a few days after McDonalds was founded.
-1966 A.D.: NASA's Project Gemini was closing down while the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift was being formally defined and accepted as a scientific fact.
