In Epoch Two I noticed that there were far more advancements then Epoch One. I also noticed that society was downgraded as well. Specifically in Europe in the middle ages. I wonder why this happened? Was is because of the lack of government? Also why did Europe experience great downturns in technology? What stopped the small kingdoms from advancing further with technology?
Epoch Two did not just have a lot of technological advancements but also a fairly large amount of religious advancements as well. This epoch gave birth to two of the most influential religions in the world. Buddhism and Islam. What I thought was interesting was both new religions were received in a negative way.  Buddhism had it's teachings affect minimized by east Asian Governments as soon as it gained attention and Islam was attacked by the crusaders trying to regain there holy land. This sheds some light on issues even facing us today on how personal biases can lead to conflict.
