Imagine yourself a medieval warrior, a noble, or maybe a monk. Imagine, that there is an Xth century AD behind your door. Christianity is not divided yet, there are no catholic or orthodox churches. Fearless Vikings rule over the whole of North Europe. Erik the Red discovers Greenland, and his son Leif Erikson travels even further, to North America. In Britain people speak in Anglo-Saxon language, and nobody thinks about any Norman invasions. In France, a Capetian dynasty establishes, in the place of Carolings. Mieszko becomes the first king of Poland, the young state at that moment. A Bulgarian army gains victory over Byzantine Empire in the battle of Achelous. In the far East, in Corea, the united state is established. In Chinese chronicles, the first battle use of gunpowder is fixed. The classic literature work, “The Tale of Genji”, is created in Japan. | Imagine yourself a medieval warrior, a noble, or maybe a monk. Imagine, that there is an Xth century AD behind your door.
