Seriously though, if any of us were magically transported to the year 1000 we'd have a very rough time surviving. The middle ages were a rough time, and around the year 1000 A.D you'd be about 100-150 years away from any sort of major intellectual revival. Power was decentralized, and life was about survival. The muslims were going through a practical golden age while the Europeans were in many ways still recovering from the collapse of the Romans 600 years prior.
