When the Roman Empire collapsed and books began to vanish, Irish monks living in isolation at the western edge of the world preserved classical literature by reading and copying works by authors like Cicero, Virgil, and Horace, then carried these texts back into Europe to help re-teach the continent how to read, thereby saving civilization from being lost.

HOW THE IRISH SAVED CIVILIZATION | IRELAND AFTER THE COLAPSE OF THE ROMAN EMPIREAdded:
When Rome collapsed, the books of the ancient world [music] began to vanish.
The people who saved them lived on the edge of nowhere.
As Europe descended into chaos, Irish monks were doing something almost no one else was, >> [music] >> reading and copying.
Cicero, Virgil, Horace, the poetry and philosophy of Rome came down to us partly because [music] Irish hands copied them by hand in the cold at the western end of the world.
Then Irish monks carried those [music] books back into Europe and helped re-teach a continent how to read.
We say Rome gave us civilization, but who saved it when Rome fell?
