The Middle Ages was a dynamic and inventive time in its own right. Some have this view that human progress was stifled after the fall of the Roman Empire, and that it was only after 1500 AD that learning suddenly exploded again, but nothing could be further from the truth. The era had its own fair share of ignorance, cruelty and bloody excess, but than again, what time in history didn't have those aspects. Eyeglasses, the mechanical clock, printing press, gunpowder, flying buttress and paper money are just some of the inventions that came out of the Middle Ages.. You have only to look at the designs and concepts by Leonardi da Vinci and Hans Talhoffer ( best known for his fencing manuals ) to see that certain mechanical concepts were understood. Leonado Da Vinci's drawing of a flying machine, centuries before they were actualy built and flown.

That may have been possible, so many lost technologies, and we haven't even started on the speculations surrounding the use of electric light bulbs in ancient Egypt.

" It was a girl who stood grasping the bars with her slender fingers. The dim glow behind her outlined her supple figure through the wisp of silk twisted about her loins, and shone vaguely on jeweled breast-plates. Her dark eyes gleamed in the shadows, her white limbs glistened softly, like alabaster. Her hair was a mass of dark foam, at the burnished luster of which the dim light only hinted." ( REH - The Hour of the Dragon) Sidonia Gabrielle Colette is looking alot like REH's Zenobia in this pic.
