Only a little unfortunate they skipped the enlightenment, akin to what Europe had.
Medieval people thinking the Earth was flat is a myth that was made up during the Age of Enlightenment.
That is a myth that has been debunked a long time ago. In fact, the Earth being round was discovered in antiquity and Eratosthenes measured the Earth's circumference almost accurately in about 240 BC.
That's not what it was, not by a long shot, but alright.
What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about enlightenment, you know, the explosion of philosophy in the 17th century?such as the explosion of liberalism, ideas of socialism, The theories of government, American and french revolution, ect.
I seriously believe you've messed up the years
