I won't repost the entire thing, but only to mention that there is a bit of a discrepancy between what Carl Sagan said and what the other side of the story was.
However, I do have definite opinions on why the empire fell, and such treasures were also lost forever.
The church at that time did not prevent this from happening. Nor did the church prevent the Mohammedans from taking over vast stretches of Christian territories.
In addition to that, if certain accounts are to be taken at face value, they are failing yet again in our own time.
Therefore, the church cannot be expected to defend itself successfully. It doesn't have a very good track record.
On the other hand, the pagans didn't defend themselves very well either.
If Western Civilization is to survive, there had better be a better solution than what was observed from these two groups.
