Ancient paper, which was made from papyrus reeds, was developed in 4000 B.C.E. It represented an alternative to stone tablets, chiseling rock and etching clay, since it could be folded and moved from one place to another.
It, combined with the development of the hieroglyphic writing system, helped Egypt become one of the superpowers of the ancient world, transforming the Egypician society and its culture.Through the use of papyrus, Egypcians wrote literary works, letters, financial records, prescriptions, judicial rulings, mathematical calculations and more.
The School of Athens is a standout amongst the most renowned frescoes by the Italian Renaissance craftsman Raphael. It was painted in the vicinity of 1509 and 1511 as a piece of Raphael's bonus to improve the rooms now known as the Stanze di Raffaello, in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican.

This event was known as Rwanda Genocide. This is where Hutu extremists killed off around 800,000 women, men, and children. 75% of which are the Tutsi, an ethic group, whom Hutu extremists blamed as the reason for the country's increasing social, economic, and political pressures.

It was estimated that 200,000 people participated in the perpetration of the Rwandan genocide.
