Description: Superstition and mythology, archaic foundations of ignorance and obscurantism constitute the beliefs of ancient societies. Soon, they will be absorbed by a new religion which compiles them judiciously under its new banner which it will erect in Rome. It is a universe of beliefs that their authors thought were painstakingly worked out on the substrate of ancient mythology. It was imposed by stealth and flame on innumerable societies. It is ruthlessly protected even when some scrolls discovered in the Dead Sea region testify to its illegitimacy. To this collection of fabulations was also added the invention of Orthodox History which guarantees it and which was embellished for centuries. It experienced its golden age during the Renaissance and the Enlightenment to finally remain a contemporary institution. Since the 10th century, a systematic policy of acquiring and translating Muslim works into Latin versions was promulgated by the highest dignitaries of the Church and Christian monarchs. Thus, for example G. de CREMONE, M.

Acquiring Muslim knowledge in Latin version and disposing of it according to policy was his constant concern. In the 14th century, the writing, printing, sale, reading of books, as well as teaching were under the unconditional control of the Church. This one was activated with frenzy to make Latin and Greek, the corner stone of the teaching of the culture of the infidel. It was the era of Hellenization and the imagination did the rest. Certain authors were created for whom a biography was invented. As a result, mythical characters like Pythagoras, Thales, Archimedes, Hippocrates, etc., ... come to life under the pen of copyists. Be that as it may, the mentality of Christian societies accepted very painfully that the Universe is in fact governed by laws. About ten centuries were necessary for the assimilation of sciences and techniques bequeathed to them by the Muslims. It was
