Allright, allright. Look, you may not believe this, but the other thread wasn't intended as a bash Chrisitianity thread. I was just curious cuz I got to thinking about all the knowledge that had been destroyed by that religion, and then I though if I was going to ask people what they thought about that, it would be insulting to leave out the actual people who were hurt. |
The most important knowledge of the Roman world was Roman engineering, which like the great ancient literature, was lost to the world during the dark ages. The engineering knowledge wasn't lost due to book burning though, but due to the general breakdown in the political order and the virtually total abandonment of commerce. Urban life also nearly vanished. By 600 AD the city of Rome, once said to have nearly one million inhabitants, had a population less than 10,000. With no one to pay engineers, builders and teachers, and no surplus urban population to serve as a labor force technological knowledge vanished.
Let me point out again that despite reports of the demise of the Great Library of Alexandria some of its contents seem to have been mysteriously been lent out in during the golden age of Islam. Where do you think the great libraries of Persia and Moorish Spain got their stock of books?
