Countdown in History: #4 The Renaissance

Sometimes reffered to as the age of enlightenment. This was a great time in history to be an artist or an intellect. You were considered to be a celebrity in those times. How cool is that? These days artist and intellects aren't treated that way. Instead, their accomplishments and contributions have been muffled down in the media. They aren't recognized properly. Back then they were wildly revered. Some of the greatest masterpieces came from this period.



My favorate artist in this period would probably be Michelangelo. He was a great sculptor first and foremost, but was also a master of architect and painting. This was a man with many talents. A Natural Wonder.



Can you imagine how long this shit took? To get this kind of complexity using your bare hands. Thats some pimp shit. I'm sure he got mad snatch for his artistic prowless.

It would have been tight to have witnessed all that going on. A society that encouraged art, sciences, and the improvement of man itself. It truelly was the Age on Enlightenment.

Women in this time were trained to be housewives. I mean trained since childhood. Cook, Clean, Serve, etc...All the good shit that women these days lost. Being obedient to the head of the household instead of this "i'm independent" shit mentality. I'm not saying that in a mean way, but women knew their place. You can still have that education and all that girl power crap, but dont forget about yo man!!! I like that traditional role. Marriages had a great synergy during those times because the women knew their role and so did the man. The man was expected to be educated and to be able to provide for the family. These values were instilled to each man as they came into there own. I think since these core values were upheld and practiced this lead the society as a whole to the great period of enlightenment. Just imagine a society in harmony and content with the social structure. Imagine trying to duplicate that this day in age. Maybe some peace and harmony can be an outcome. Who knows?
