Do you not consider modern science to be a product of history?The problem I see is you have a complete wrong idea of what were the Middle Ages.
This idea of the Churches protecting culture (especially Christian ones) was built by the Christians. The recent discovery of Wicking Hoards in UK and Archaeology show how the so-called blood-thirsty Vikings were in fact building towns and markets.
The barbarians were the Christians who razed to the ground all Pagan Cultures, annexing their beliefs and symbols in order to subdue the locals: Killing their Priests and destroying their monuments, as they will do again in South and Central America, then in Africa. Same things than the Taliban did later. The Baltic States were not Christian and had books, culture as well, and researchers. And same can be said for the Chinese, Indians and others Asiatic populations.
"Put 'em in blue coats, put 'em in red coats, the bastards will run all the same!"
"The English are a strange people....They came here in the morning, looked at the wall, walked over it, killed the garrison and returned to breakfast. What can withstand them?"
