Still you have the House of Wisdom, the preservation of the works of Aristotle and Plato, the development of most of modern math.
They destroyed 90% of the culture they conquered.
Can you imagine what would have been preserved had Islam **not** invaded and destroyed 90% of greek culture?
they were still also technologically more advance then the Europeans until about the European Renaissance
And most of modern math has definitely not been developed by Islam.
@DanielKO Most of our Greek literature was preserved through the House of Wisdom
i am not saying Islam was this great savior
It's funny to be labeled as "preserver" when they're the ones invading the land and destroying most of it.
I mean of course
they are a Empire
Empires conquer
"We didn't burn ALL of the books, you can thank us later."
That is *somewhat* true, but not entirely
you guys badmouthing Islam in here?
I just talking about how the Islamic Empire was more advance technologically then the Europeans until the the European Reissuance.
If anything they preserved the knowledge from those civilizations. But that's about it.
pretty much
again they were not perfect though
they were pretty cruel to the jews
```
By the way, the rest of the doctrine found from the greeks and the romans, was in the Byzantine Empire, and it finally really got into Europe... why? Well... the Muslims crushed Constantinople, and the scholars had to flee.```
Plus they invented Algebra, but I don't know how it compares to what other civilizations contributed to Math and Science.
Algebra is pretty important
Greeks could do far more advanced problems without algebra.
@DanielKO The Whole thing with the Byzantine Empire is a complicated mess.
Also dont down play Algebra
its pretty important
And 0.
```
One of the things that came out of the "Golden Age" was the philosophy "there is no cause and effect, and there are no natural laws."```
LOL
lol
Algebra started in Babylon and Egypt.
Their is also the Canon book of Medicine
which to be fair was a combination of what greek, muslim, and indian scholars wrote
Let's just say they were good at dissecting humans, I'll give them that.
They were really advanced with medicine fit some reason
they had alot of stuff from Ionian greeks they used
thats how they have alot of Greek stuff mixed in with them
Basically the Chinese and Muslims were more powerful then the Europeans until the 1500s
> Can you imagine what would have been preserved had Islam not invaded and destroyed 90% of greek culture?
Well it's not 100% their fault. The Mongols had something to do with the libraries of Bagdhad
Nah
