Many of their other “inventions” and “discoveries” were basically extrapolations of prior work of the Greek, Hindus and Persians, and others, from manuscripts that ended up in their hands after Europe purged their versions during the Dark Ages.

That makes it sound as though there was a transfer of manuscripts from Europe to the Muslims during the Dark Ages; rather, what was lost to Europe during that time remained in the hands of the conquerers of those Middle Eastern (and other) societies.

My understanding is that nearly all of this the Muslims took from the Greeks or the Hindus.

Wrong? Right?
