Description

This can be an effective and an exciting story background exposing the origins of contemporary technology in the ancient world. The adjective 'medieval' has become a synonym for brutality and uncivilized behavior. However minus the function of ancient students there may have now been no Newton, no Galileo and no Medical Innovation. In "Godis Philosophers", James Hannam debunks most of the myths concerning the Dark Ages, displaying that ancient people didn't believe our planet is flat, nor did Columbus 'prove' that it's a sphere; the Inquisition burnt nobody for their science nor was Copernicus scared of persecution; no Pope attempted to ban human dissection or the number zero.
