The Lena River. The Lena is the 10th-longest river in the world, flowing 2,734 miles across the Far East regions of Russia, forming near Lake Baykal and flowing northeast to the Arctic Ocean. It empties in a 250-mile-wide delta at the Laptev Sea.
This was essential to the success of the Reformation. GUTENBERG, JOHANN (c. 1398â1468), German printer, is supposed to have been born 1398â1399 at Mainz of well-to-do parents, his father being Friele zum Gensfleisch and his mother Elsgen Wyrich, whose birthplace âGutenbergâ, was the name he adopted.
He was German, his press was wooden, and the most important aspect of his invention was that it was the first form of printing to use movable type. The earliest dated specimens of printing by Gutenberg are papal indulgences (notes given to Christians by the Pope, pardoning their sins) issued in Mainz in 1454.
