About This Quiz

Can you imagine your grandfather growing up in today's world? Or Emmanuel Macron trying to make it in 14th-century French politics? People and the times in which they live are not interchangeable. This isn't just because people grow up with a specific set of technology, language, politics, or religious values. There's something deeper about how the weave of the fabric of society changes over time.

When is a soul is born, it is unformed and innocent. Given time, it will take a more specific shape, a form sculpted by the trials and tribulations of its time, the values of its time, and the lessons history teaches those who live through it. Every age saw itself one way and was seen differently through hindsight.

Over the centuries, humanity achieved tremendous advantages, thinking itself the true master of politics, science and art, only to fall, or to be surpassed by a successive civilization. Some periods are defined by the dominance of a specific philosophy or idea, while others are shaped more by religion, technology or changes in the environment. 

Of course, the people thrust into each age determine something of the outcome of their time, and thus we have the turning wheel of history; humanity making small changes over time that add up to huge differences over the decades. What age is your soul from? Sort it out with us by taking this quiz!
