Today in History class we studied about the origin of "Humanities" it's etymology and its importance.
It basically originated in Italy and found its way to the rest of the Europe..
The medieval years in Europe are called the dark ages. As the medieval period came to an end, people's mindset began to change, the unlimited power of the church was restricted. People began to think about the betterment of their lives in the present rather than afterlife.
Artists were inspired studying works of the past and they wanted to carry on the heritage by creating life like sculptures such as The Pieta by Michelangelo. The Sistine chapel is also an architecture of this period.
The Protestant reformation is a happening of these years, when Martin Luther King along with the help of newly invented printing press, discarded the rituals of Catholic Church he considered uneccesary.
I guess that's quite a lot of history for today.
