Here we go. From the New Scientist:
'WHEN Roman civilisation fell in the early centuries AD, the light of scholarship was extinguished. It was close to a thousand years before civilisation recovered, thanks to European scholars who rediscovered classical Greek learning and ushered in the new dawn of the Renaissance.
At least, this is how history is taught.'
Hmm, yes. That is how history is taught......by unenlightened imbeciles!.
'While the Islamic world was enjoying astronomy, philosophy and medicine, those in Europe could not tell the hours of the day, thought the Earth was flat, and saw disease as punishment from God, says Jonathan Lyons in The House of Wisdom. '
Die flat earth myth. DIE!.
