So that you could see as well
how close
some
things
realy are:
1451: birth of Colomb
1452: birth of da Vinci
1453: Fall of Constantinople
1492: Liberation of Spain
1492: Discovery of America.
and if you observe
the map of Byzantium
during Iustianian rule
and from which
region
Colomb
departed
for America
then you’ll
certainly
smile.
