Among others, the Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians and Chinese had systems of education centuries before the first books of the Hebrew Bible were written. However, during the Dark Ages, the Church insisted that education be limited to those who needed to read The Bible, and that books should not be read unless they were considered necessary for a Christian understanding of the Bible. Whereas literacy was quite widespread in the early Roman Empire, even kings and nobility were often illiterate. One could say that the Bible stifled education for centuries.
