Description: For ten centuries, religious authorities maintained complete control by manipulating the masses. They secretly used repressive means to prevent the spread of ancient knowledge they considered dangerous. If left unguarded, this knowledge in its original form would encourage the people to think for themselves! Precautions were taken to insure the people remained dependent on the self-appointed guardians to read the ancient texts in their stead and provide private interpretations on their behalf. This we called the dark ages! Others called it mind control! Periodically, a monk from the order would rise up and alert the people of this unfair advantage. But before they could bring about change, these rebels were hunted down, imprisoned and executed. Fortunately, they planted the seeds of rebellion in the minds of the masses before they died! To defuse the uprising, the powers issued a Bible the people could read for themselves. Howbeit, they were not able to compare what they were given to the original texts they were forbidden! Did the dark ages really end or did the powers-that-be merely change their method of control? You decide!
