Hmm, marrying your cousin can cause over-sized lower jaws. Oh, and mental illness… CCWH219. #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

I didn’t realize there were so many different types of Lutherans. CCWH218. #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

I remember learning in elementary school that Columbus thought the world was flat. Turns out that's not true! CCWH21. #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

Columbus had three ships compared to Zheng He’s 300 ships. Dang. CCWH21. #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

Copernicus was a lawyer and a doctor and he spoke four languages? Who knew? CCWH22. #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@JensBrakenhoff Haha, they definitely don't like new ideas.

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@JensBrakenhoff I didn't realize that, prior to reading the chapter.

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@aflo87 That's a huge percentage. Hard to believe.

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@aflo87 That's a big accomplishment... especially back then.

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@awatkins66 I would too. Especially with all the stories of 'bizarre' distant lands.

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

Is it coincidence that two of history’s great reformers were named Martin Luther? (Ch. 13). #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

“The Lawyer”, by Giuseppe Arcimboldo is a really unusual picture… takes some getting used to. p.403 #Hist1011

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

New ideas like: shape-shifting demons and fire-breathing mountains would make me want to explore the world, too. p361. #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

I didn’t know that Leonardo da Vinci left thousands of notes written in mirror script. I wonder why? p347. #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

Interesting learning about the Bonfire of the Vanities… I wonder how many people would burn their luxurious items today? p334. #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@JensBrakenhoff That's unbelievable. I wonder what the people would have done, had the churches not done that? #Hist1101

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@Weswoods77 I was wondering the same thing. I mean warm period to little ice age? That's pretty drastic.

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@KTorresGurule @gabrielleblopez Huh, that is weird. I've never heard that before.

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@gabrielleblopez That is interesting. I didn't know that either.

[Bradley Hawkins @Bghawk12]

@Weswoods77 Hmm, good question. I'm guessing it was intentional...? #Hist1011
