        A material analysis explains it. The Middle East gradually became poorer and the local governments couldn’t support and promote science anymore. Why they became poorer? Perhaps European colonialism had something to do with it, as it circumvented Middle Eastern trade routes.

            Not sure what you are trying to say. Anyways, we are seeing progress in science and technology happening again because of the availability of capital and investments.
