They didn't skip it, the enlightenment was a continuation of what they came up with. I'm pretty sure they didn't deny the earth is round and the sun is the center of our galaxy.

That's not what it was, not by a long shot, but alright.

Now you've got me curious, what do you think they didn't continue? The art wasn't the same, is that it? We should be very thankful they saved a lot of knowledge that could have been lost.

What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about enlightenment, you know, the explosion of philosophy in the 17th century?such as the explosion of liberalism, ideas of socialism, The theories of government, American and french revolution, ect.

So science wasn't part of it?

I seriously believe you've messed up the years
