Epoch Three

Epoch Three was rightfully named the epic of interactions. These interactions had an affect on many different cultures. Mostly because a lot of these cultures had usually never made contact with the outside world. When these different cultures met, for example when the Spaniards found the Americas instead of just gracefully meeting the culture they brought disease with them and decided to kill the natives as well just so they could use the land for resources. Another example is when Europeans landed in Africa and kidnapped the natives there and turned them into slaves. This theme of meeting and killing new people and shutting up new ideas is a prominent theme in epochs two and three. In epoch two Christians from Europe started the crusades against Muslims who's new religion Islam was a new idea to the world. After seeing two huge similar incidents occur in two completely different times and places I wonder if it is a part of human nature to react negatively to new things or new ideas. Even today I see it. For example Christians react to the the theory of evolution by denying it and saying who ever thinks that is true is going to Hell.
