    They didn’t skip it, the enlightenment was a continuation of what they came up with. I’m pretty sure they didn’t deny the earth is round and the sun is the center of our galaxy.

      Medieval people thinking the Earth was flat is a myth that was made up during the Age of Enlightenment.

        Hmmm, the minions probably did think the earth was flat since that’s what the church told them. Definitely, most of the thinkers of that time knew it wasn’t and were told to keep it hush hush or there would be harsh punishment. It’s not a one size fits all kind of thing, and just like everything else, it’s complicated.

          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.

        Now you’ve got me curious, what do you think they didn’t continue? The art wasn’t the same, is that it? We should be very thankful they saved a lot of knowledge that could have been lost.
