One day, a small, frightened mammal watched the sky as a mountain of fire fell from space. The dinosaurs died. Our tiny ancestors crawled out of the rubble into the light.
In a cold monastery, a monk argued about how many angels could dance on a pin. But in China, a man named Gutenberg was about to invent a devilish machine: movable type. Words exploded across the continent like shrapnel. People read the Bible and discovered they didn’t need a priest. They read Ptolemy and discovered the world was round.
Out of the ashes, warriors came from the north with axes, and horsemen from the east with bows. A desert prophet named Muhammad recited verses of justice and mercy, and within a century, his followers had built a golden bridge from Spain to India, saving the old Greek books while Europe slept in mud.
