During the Medieval Era, the study of theology (the study of God) was the most important branch of learning; but during the Renaissance, people began to pay more attention to earthly life and the study of humanity, or humanism, became a major focus of scholarly attention. Renaissance humanists relied purely on reason (as opposed to such things as prayer or astrology) to investigate subjects they believed might help them understand human life, and solve the problems that faced mankind. To do this, they actively studied the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome because they believed that these civilizations had excelled in humanistic subjects. They dug through ruins for anything that remained of the long-forgotten classical cultures and marveled at the fabulous works of art and architecture they discovered.
