live in the areas of the Ottomans decided to move far away from the Ottomans.
Eventually they all end up in Europe and mostly Italy. They brought manuscripts
and books from ancient times. These books and script contain most of the
information and knowledge about the world. As they soon investigate more
about the world with their books and scripts. They soon found out that the world
is more different that you think. Scholars also knew that most of the idea in
Europe are wrong. So European doctors, scientists, sculptors and
mathematicians experimented on their false ideas again in detail. They soon
found out that all of them were wrong. New ideas and knowledge encouraged
