It was comprised of a bunch of shorts based in places around the world in all different time periods. The animation style, I think, was kind of like Arthur.
The show would attempt to teach history, but it was all fake. They taught things like the origin of waffles cones (An ice-cream vendor, in ancient Greece, dropped a waffle and it landed in a cone shape) and the origin of counting (A farmer in ancient China needed to count chickens for his emperor/king).
Now, I may be mixing together a few different cartoons in my head, but I'm almost positive this show existed. I remember watching it along with The Magic School Bus in the mid 90s on weekday mornings.
This has caused me many hours of lost googling and I would GREATLY appreciate any info.
Please provide links or vids or something (A name is perfectly O.K. too)
Histeria could be it, but I'm pretty sure the show I watched was on PBS
