HAPPY RE-BIRTHDAY RENAISSANCE

According to yesterday’s Wikipedia’s this day in history. May 29th 1453 was the day the Ottomans (Ottormen?) took over Constantinople. This was the end of the middle ages, meaning that today is the anniversary of the first day of the Renaissance, which of course led to the great civilization we live in today.
