Telling the story of before the Renaissance

  Two of the ideas I liked regarding ancient Greece, Romans, Christianity, Islam and Middle ages or Renaissance groups in other words were their arts and architectures. Although, Christianity influenced the Roman Empire this encouraged me to say that the Roman Empire made infrastructures from stone and arts through stones and stones, their whole goal was to make it beautiful, religious, civil, militaristic and artistic that symbolizes their culture just like Greece, Islam, and the Middle ages. These groups had one goal and their goal was to spread out their knowledge, government, religion, culture, art and architecture throughout the world. Nowadays architecture and art made by these Renaissance groups is a number one factor that explains a lot about their history as a result the descendants of these Renaissance groups use these architectures to practice their religion, do a tour, or discover something new within these architectures and display art in the museum to tell the story of the past. Most of these Renaissance groups admired each others architectures, arts and ideas so they tried to make their own, but in their way. The main purpose of these architectures and arts made by the Renaissance groups were to identify themselves and their way of life(symbolic meaning).

    What I learned from the ancient Greece, Romans, Christianity, Islam and Middle ages is that their belief in god impacted their way of living. For example, the Greece and Romans were Polytheistic, which is the belief in more than one god, but Christianity, Islam, and the Middle ages were Monotheistic, which is the belief in one god. These Renaissance groups formed the government in the name of god and his will. They believed they were following gods words by conducting rituals, sacrifices and fasting periods. The hierarchy of these Renaissance groups took these ideas and influenced them among their people in order to have a better control of their government whether its corrupted or not. Most of the time these Renaissance groups would have a war with each other if their religious ideals opposes each other. Thus, this concludes that the belief in god was the key factor to building a community, religion, and culture. 


    What I already knew about the Greek, Romans, Christians, Islam and Middle ages is their technology. For example, they made aqueducts to reserve water, carriages for transportation, ships for trading and traveling to different regions, forged weapons and armor for war and security, plus the use of steam to operate experimental machines. These technologies were made to support its own people, but at the same time they were made for trading with other technological countries or if not trade but share ideas on how the technology was made. Furthermore, mining was an important factor since the people of the Renaissance had to mine for gold and silver, because it was the source of their economy and income. In addition, people during the Renaissance  had to make hunting equipment like traps, bow and Javelin or made nets for fishing.
