The majority of that work happened during the so called "Dark ages"
It was more the church releasing those documents more freely
Alright, was it just mass revelation from chemicals in the water? lol
Since they held most the surviving works
Every learned position was taught in Latin
In the dark ages the only scholarly work was done by the church
It was probably from trying to gain the upperhand in war, like how most discoveries come about
Most people Like saint Thomas Aquinas did extensive writings on the works of Aristotle
They were the only ones not afraid of where their next meal will be. And felt "divine protectioj" from the disease
Millions of words written and disseminated
This is also not true
But the church and the clergy moreso didnt release much of their work until post dark ages
During that period food was more abundant than during the Roman Period
Wrong
Are you illiterate

The roman empire began the collapse due to shortages on food and cropping of disease. Europe went through a cold spell
Farming techniques and innovation skyrocketed after the fall of the Roman Empire
The viking raids for instance were due to this cold spell
The 3 cycle cropping
the invention of a plow to be pulled by horses
The invention of the water mill
The aqueducts were an extravagance of the Urban
No point in having water go to a big city, when you can send it all to the farms along the way
The romans invented the horse drawn plaugh you nob
By the Han period, the entire ploughshare was made of cast iron; these are the first known heavy mouldboard iron ploughs. The Romans achieved the heavy wheeled mouldboard plough in the late 3rd and 4th century AD, when archaeological evidence appears, inter alia, in Roman Britain
It took wealth and centralized it in the cities
WRONG
wow, I didn't realize how much Pinker is a lying sack of shit
Key word here is HORSE drawn
It was horse drawn you nob
When was the fall of the Roman empire
mid 500s
It was not until the 900s that the Horse collar, horse shoe and plow were found
before that it was done by oxen
Sorry technicality they were oxen drawn but same bloody concept
No it is not
Horses could pull as much weight
but at twice the speed
