The secret is that you really don't have to know anything to make a meme, because the people who don't know the subject outnumber the ones who do, and will accept anything on a meme as long as it's amusing and doesn't contradict any of their politics. In this case the obvious implication is that Assyria had different capitals, but for all I know (along with most people) those years could just be random numbers.
