The Gutenberg Bible and the OG Telescope
The telescope to me is a lever that has literally moved the earth throughout history. The one invented not by Galileo, as most people think, but by this guy Hans Lippertche and the Netherlands. And it was kind of interesting because in the 1600s, 1400s, 1600s, it was the beginning of movable type. People for the first time in history had a standard by which they could appraise their eyesight. But back then, there was no way to adjust your eyesight. If you didn't have perfect vision,. No way to even tell if you had perfect vision or not until the Gutenberg Bible and movabletype.
