Back then when Europe was stuck at prehistory because of Germanic barbarian migrations caused 1000 years of obscurantism in the Mediterranean world.The Arabs acted as the opposite pole to Barbarians. Wherever they went, they built cities (while the barbarian destroyed them), they brought sciences (while barbarians murdered Boethius, burned libraries and banned sciences), left the most import artistic sites of the period (while barbarians greatest work was some bones stuff), poetry (which barbarians lacked), tolerance (where barbarians stablished racism), etc.Islamic Golden Age was an era of optimism which hold togheter the Ancient World. From Spain (Tarshish) in the extreme West of the world, to Persia in the extreme East, from Tunis (Carthage) to Iraq (Mesopotamia), from Sicily (Magna Graecia) to Crete, from Morocco (Mauritania) to the the land of Kush in Sudan, way down of the Nile's Delta.Just imagine the differences between both worlds. The sunny Mediterranean land of Andalucia with its free peoples focused on living happy lifes, beyond of its borders, the fronzen glacial grim land of Germania. Their once happy under Grecoroman rule now unhappy neighbors got to live subjected to the brutal Barbarian and Inquisitorial yoke imposed over science, medicine, philosophy, astronomy, etc., by the brutal Germanic cavemen who Jus Primae Nocted their lands after Rome's fall.
So why did the Scientific Revolution happen in Western Europe?
>>18248385It didn't, tho, our modern world derived from Arab scientists. We couldn't even use this computer without Arab maths.
>>18248389We couldn't use the computer without calculus and set theory, of which both originate in Europe. After Arab knowledge was conveyed to Europeans, we surpassed them.
>>18248389"Arab scientist" didn't do anything but keep alive the traditions and knowledge from the Ancient Greeks, passed down to them through the Byzantine Empire.
