What had happened to many of the advances made by the Greeks and Romans during the dark ages and middle ages?

During the Dark Ages and Middle Ages, many advances made by the Greeks and Romans were largely lost or fell into disuse due to the decline of centralized political structures, economic instability, and a focus on survival rather than scholarship. Much of the knowledge was preserved in monasteries, where monks copied texts, but many scientific, mathematical, and philosophical works were neglected or forgotten in broader society. The Renaissance later revived interest in these ancient texts and ideas, leading to a resurgence in learning and innovation.
