They introduced math and science and philosophy to Europe. Not to mention there were important trade routes between Europe and China. And north Africa too. I’d bet technology would’ve made its way into central and South America where they already were pretty advanced.

It certainly wasn’t in shambles but well past the main kingdoms.
