    Okay, I added Persia there because efforts of Persians (Sasanian Empire, at the time) in Gundeshapur and the work of the likes of Ibn Sina and Al-Farabi in deciphering Aristotle's work have been instrumental in the chain of events that led to the saving of the partial Great Library of Alexandria and its further development during the Islamic Golden Age.
