How Medieval Cults Gave Birth to Feminism, Science, and Modern Art
Think the Middle Ages were just darkness and superstition? Think again. In this video, we uncover the explosive truth: feminism, science, and realistic art didn't emerge from the Renaissance—they were born from the cults of Catholicism. We explore how figures like Hildegard of Bingen challenged male authority, how Eleanor of Aquitaine turned women into objects of worship, and how the cult of the Virgin Mary sparked a revolution in art and architecture. Based on Thomas Cahill's book 'Mysteries of the Middle Ages,' this is the story of how the most unexpected forces shaped our modern world. Watch to see history turned upside down.
