In this episode of History Deep Dive, we dive into one of the most groundbreaking inventions in history: Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press. Before the 15th century, books were rare, expensive, and painstakingly copied by hand, limiting access to knowledge. But in the 1440s, a German inventor from Mainz changed everything. Gutenberg’s movable type printing press revolutionized the way information was shared, fueling the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the rise of modern science. We’ll explore the technology behind this invention, the controversies surrounding its origins, and how it reshaped the world. Plus, we’ll uncover lessons from Gutenberg’s story that remain relevant in today’s digital age. Tune in to discover how one invention shaped the course of history!
