Mystery of History Vol III

Covering people and events from 1455 to 1707, Volume III contains more than I imagined it would.  The Medici’s, the Inquisition, and Christopher Columbus.  Michelangelo, Martin Luther, and Henry VIII.  Copernicus, Shakespeare, and Pocahontas.  These are but glimpses of great power, great minds, and great passion.  I’m in awe over each and every one of the geniuses that graced this rich time period.

As is true with the other books in this series, The Mystery of History Volume III looks at what was going on all over the world in the order that it happened. So, while the Renaissance and Reformation were taking shape in Europe, we’ll look at the rise of wealthy empires in West Africa; the Mogul dynasty of India; and the peaceful lives of the Aboriginals of Australia.  We will also visit Ivan the Terrible in Russia and the Tokugawa family in Japan. 

Of course the stories will be told of the master painters and sculptors who made the Renaissance famous as well as the scientists and philosophers who dissected it.  And the time period wouldn’t be complete without boarding a ship or two to circumnavigate the globe for spices and riches in the East.  Many more explorers will touch the soil of North America and start a new chapter in the history of the world.  We’ll bow with the Pilgrims who will give thanks for their survival and welcome the Native Americans to their feast.
