Unfinished thought

What if...

During the so called dark ages, shortly after the fall of the Roman Empire, Ireland was one place where monastaries were built. Ireland was on the very edge of the Empire, barely within reach and control of Rome, yet for a time it benefited from Romes influence. It was in these Irish monastaries where the writings from the height of roman empire were stored and preserved carefully.  The renaisance in "the west" owes much to those monks who carefully kept and maintained key information for many centuries that would later be rediscovered.

What if the civilization as we know it were to colapse, as some doomsday types might suggest, due to enviromnental change, war, or other disaster... Where would the monks of our day go to find refuge, on the edge of civilization, to keep important ideas that should be entrusted to future generations....  Where is the edge of our civilization? War torn, poor countries like Somalia, Afganistan.... We may owe more to these places in coming generations than we credit them for now....
