Although the Moorish invasion of Spain introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals and algebra for the first time to Europe around 700 A.D., preceding al-Khowarizmi about a century, it was the Latin translation of his "Treatise on Cipher" around 1200 A.D. that awakened Europe from its computational darkness to an evolution of mathematical knowledge. However, while Arab-Islamic civilization was achieving great scientific and cultural attitudes, comparable only with Athens and Alexandria, Western Christendom was languishing in social disorder, economic depression, and intellectual obscurantism caused by the master neocheaters' oppressive strategies to stay in power. Thus, it took over 400 years for al-Khowarizmi's treatise to be translated into Latin, and it took another 200 years for the Hindu-Arabic numeration with the zero and place-value concept to become widely diffused in Europe.
As in India, where virtually every sphere of knowledge was monopolized by Brahmans and other religious priest-scholars, so in the Arab-Islamic world was knowledge a field which belonged exclusively to the priest-scholars who served under their patronal caliphs. Furthermore, as in India, there was no explicit Aristotelian philosophy that dominated the mind of the Arabs. Their guiding philosophy was provided by their religion, Islam. Although Aristotle's works were earnestly studied and translated into Arabic, so were the works of Plato. It was the time of academic compilation and scholastic relativism. For that reason, no genuine scientific/technological revolution took place in the Arab-Islamic world. However, it was through the wealth of knowledge compiled there that the Western world learned about the lost works of Aristotle and the zero concept.
In the meantime in Europe, a systematic master neocheating scheme in operation since 200 B.C., particularly by the successive Roman emperors, had prepared Europe for the rise of Christianity. The combined religious and political emperorship had found its authoritarian formulae, "credo" (which means "I believe"), continually threatened by the Greek scientist-philosophers who had incessantly evolved ever unorthodox ideas and discoveries. The authorities had devised their grand strategy largely to cope with and counteract those scientists' persuasive, experience-supported, objective logic.
But it was not until the Roman priesthood developed an extremely clever neocheating theology around an obscure mystic who had supposedly died on the cross some centuries before that the traces of the Greek intellect could finally be wiped out. Although the emperors possessed absolute physical power, they lacked absolute metaphysical authority. Through Christian theology and its doctrine, the emperor-pope could now possess not only physical power but also the metaphysical dispensation normally given only by "God" -- an authority that was purportedly received originally by the disciples from the only son of God, "Christ", and his direct authority from God himself. Indeed, following the death of Jesus and the preaching by his "disciples", the promised prospect of salvation for all believers raised the Christian priesthood to an unprecedented popularity and power.
In point of fact, Jesus was an obscure mystic known in his lifetime only by a handful of people. Uneducated and with hallucinatory propensities, he spent his known life neurotically striving to fulfill certain ancient Judaic prophecies under a megalomaniacal illusion that he was the son of God. His crucifixion was to a great measure his own making in order to fulfill his "divine mission" in life. For what sin did he actually commit that deserved a crucifixion except that he was somewhat insane and an annoyance to the establishment? It was indeed Jesus himself who managed to cause his own crucifixion, because, so far as he was concerned, the son of God had to be crucified.
