Mohammed and Charlemagne Revisited During the 1920s Belgian historian Henri Pirenne came to an astonishing conclusion: the ancient classical civilization, which Rome had established throughout Europe and the Mediterranean world, was not destroyed by the Barbarians who invaded the western provinces in the fifth century, it was destroyed by the Arabs, whose conquest of the Middle East and North Africa terminated Roman civilization in those regions and cut off Europe from any further trading and cultural contact with the East. According to Pirenne, it was only in the mid-seventh century that the characteristic features of classical life disappeared from Europe, after which time the continent began to develop its own distinctive and somewhat primitive medieval culture. For Scott, archaeology demonstrated that the Arabs did indeed blockade the Mediterranean through piracy and slave-raiding, precisely as Pirenne had claimed, and he argues that the disappearance of papyrus from Europe was an infallible proof of this. Whatever classical learning survived after this time, says Scott, was due almost entirely to the efforts of Christian monks.

"Whatever classical learning survived after this time, says Scott, was due almost entirely to the efforts of Christian monks."
No, this quazi-historian obviously forgets that arabs/persians were the ones who preserved the ancient texts and build upon them which were later copied by the same monks that "saved classical learning".

Thanks for this, haven't read many history books, but I'm going to check this one out.
The Muslims burned down the library of alexandria that had irreplaceable scolarly books and documents since the Koran is the only book you need they said. A travesty again by evil Islam. You think this is far fetched what is written in this book, so that is the only reason you don't believe it? Sorry pal, this is not far fetched.
@REMREMREM: Ahh, I see we have yet another religious twit posting nonsense on the internet...
The library in Alexandria was almost certainly destroyed by Christians; if anything remained at the time of the Arab conquests, it was certainly not the institution which it was in Classical, read pagan, times.
Now to be clear, I do not want to be seen as playing favourites here between Islam and Christianity; all religion is the refuge of the small-minded twit. The fundamental underpinnings of faith are contrary to any interpretation of critical thinking, logic and reason. The collective cost which humanity has had to bear as a result of religion has been horrible; many millions brutally maimed, killed and tortured as well as an incalculable stunting of scientific progress, the true extent of which is impossible to know. So very sad and sickening indeed. I just hope that future generations can forgive us for the foolish and sickening blight of religion and the untold misery which it has wrought upon our world.
