The Battle of Hastings 1066.
The Early Crusades 1096.

Study Time!
Pages 280, 311, 347, 405, 438, and 474 are pages that begin former quizzes you have taken this semester. Study them! Give special attention to any items you missed. If you feel particularly unfamiliar about a topic, go back to that lesson to be reminded of the event or person and their significance to history.

REVIEW
Write the last two history cards and then complete the review work on pages 491-496. Complete all the answers you know. Go back to the lessons and re-read any information you do not know along with the context of that information, using these pages as study for the semester exam. We will do further study and review in class on Friday.
The Ottoman Turks Take Constantinople 83
(1453)
A sultan of the Ottoman Turks, Mohammed II, arose to dominate the last Christian city yet unconquered by Islam. In 1453, Mohammed II led the Ottoman Turks to conquer Constantinople, which they renamed Instanbul. Great philosophers, artists, and scientists fled to western Europe when Constantinople fell; they played a key role in the next phase of His story, known as the Renaissance.
Johannes Gutenberg Invents The Printing Press 84
(1456)
The educated Johannes Gutenberg of Mainz, Germany, built a printing press with changeable letters to spell out a whole page of writing at one time. He could print 200-300 pages in one day on smooth paper made from cotton. In 1456, he and those with him completed 300 copies of Jerome's Latin Bible. Soon afterwards, Wycliffe's followers, the Lollards, set up the first printing press in England to print the Bible in English. Obviously, God was closing out the era of the Dark (or Middle) Ages with the rapid spread of His Light and truth.

(1438)
The striking Inka Empire grew strong and rich by the leadership of Pachacuti. The Inkas called their empire the Land of the Four Quarters, and the capital city of Cuzco marked its center point. They had connected their cities with 15,000 miles of highway with markers that counted every six miles, and their messenger service could spread news across the whole land in two days! Pachacutie's special high mountain retreat, Machu Picchu, was only discovered in 1911, over 400 years after the Spanish had found and conquered the Inka empire of over 10 million people.
