| iFlow said: In their time, then yes it was advanced technology. But if you're trying to compare that to now, then no. Back then, a compass was considered to be advanced technology. Before the late 1600's, everyone thought we were the center of the solar system. Then Galileo improved the telescope and proved that the sun was. |
I will add some more. The thing is as pointed out in my post above. The dark ages did much disservice to the advancment of human civilization. But that is what happens when you go from a strong government (Rome) that protected the arts and go to a feudal system where infighting between the lords where they tended to destroy everything when they conquered. Rome was ransacked by these "barbarians" several times and since books that stored the information where not easily reproduced when they burned Rome just think of home much knowledge was lost.
The "barbarians" as they where labled by Rome were the feudal city-states that ended up replacing Rome.
As for the telescope it was a mixture of Caliprunicus (Spelling) and Galileo both had to deal with the Catholic church who also was part of the problem that was the middle ages.
