It's also believed that they merely inherited the Greek knowledge when they took over the area now known as Turkey and the middle east. The Roman empire had split into two and the western part, based in Rome, was overrun by Millwall supporters and collapsed, leading to the Dark Ages in western Europe. The eastern empire, based in Constantinople, eventually succumbed to the muslim world but some of the learning survived among the (very few) educated muslims. At the Renaissance, the west came bounding back. |
