haha they forgot to put what the aztecs knew though
Blame the Roman Emperor Constatine.
They Did forget China & THe Middle-East, they don't get credit for allot since europe basically reinvented allot of there inventions and took all the credit a few centuries later.
What a stupid poster. For one the "dark" ages did have quite a bit of practical advancements happen with regards to technology. What was left behind in science had nothing to do with the religion, but rather the conquering feudal kings who felt they should do away with everything their once Roman masters held high. It wouldn't have mattered if Christianity existed or not. The Byzantine Empire still held strong in science ad math through out most of the Western dark ages and it was very Christian. The great Church Ayia Sofia is an architectural marvel and it was built in those terrible Christian years of no progress.

why would it be at the end of the graph because it was found out later? your kidding right? if they found a lost kingdom would they label it as 2000's too since it was "found".

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't even realize the double meaning. I did indeed mean the picture that I thought would be used as a wall poster, and not the poster, as in one who posted the message.
