Early modern Europe

personally think the most negative impact that impacted the world was Christopher Columbus, it all started with the thought of him and his brother that the indies had plenty of gold, silver, and spices. Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451. He worked early as a map maker, he was the 15th century Italian explorer who completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, while causing so much terror, but he starting the Spanish colonization of several places in the World.

outstanding achievements of man. It greatly propelled society forward with the creation of numerous inventions and machines, all of which helped advance the Industrial Revolution even further than before.

Enoch that modern theological scholars of Christianity should be looking into the canonization of this text. Clement of Rome, as part of his moral instruction, cited the example of the obedience of the inanimate creation. The Passage he cites is in close parallel to 1 Enoch 2-5 and 101.

I always thought that our financial ruin was caused by poor leadership, and…
