French Revolution

Émigrés - We can give you pointers, as I have, but we're not here to do your work for you.

As a pointer, this revolution probably resulted in most of the most important ancient documents and sites than any other similar destruction of the last 2,000 years!

Actually I should not have been so rude to suggest that only the above happened! I reality, this ruthless revolution actually gave the ancient Roman Church a chance to destroy stuff that they did not want known, and blame it upon those rowdy and wild rebels! Thus churches and monasteries and Nunnery's, etc., were reportedly attacked and sacked by ignorant mobs, over and over! This destruction was mostly seen in France, and later the same was attributed to the rebellious Protestant's, etc.

Just what do you know about the orders of the Pope and the college for all Catholics in Monasteries to destroy all "pagan" materials, and other forbidden works?

And, yet, during the "revivable" of the "ancient classical times" these same "Monks" seemed to be a reservoir of material for the Renaissance!
