Tudor History
So I tend to watch and know about Tudor more specifically about Anne Boleyn. I often talk about her in my writing. I like to think I knew her in a past life, but I know a lot of what people either wouldn’t know or would absolutely know about her.

They were ahead of us in everything..
What technique or tool did they have to be able to carve this statue on the hardest types of marble with such amazing precision? It could only be if they had advanced techniques, because now, despite the claim of technology and progress, we don't see such a sculpture in our time.

I'm open to a nice debate on this topic
Now i remember when people would say "why is history taught in school?" So I'm curious what everyone thinks. Should history be continued to be taught in school or not?
