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.

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.
