There's a strange kind of myth that there was no science before that time. I'm not sure why that falsehood persists.

I've even heard that the medieval church banned research through dissection, which the Romans had done. But exactly the opposite is true.
Quote:In classical antiquity, Greek and Roman taboos had meant that dissection was usually banned, but in the Middle Ages medical teachers and students at Bologna began to open human bodies, and Mondino de Luzzi (c. 1275–1326) produced the first known anatomy textbook based on human dissection.[110][111]
