What kinds of things did the first universities teach? Was it mostly all math, language (Latin/Sanskrit/Greek), and ancient history/myth?

Which university is the oldest on earth: University of Bologna in Italy, founded in 1088, or Nalanda University in India, supposedly founded in 500?

How would the world today be like if education/universities weren't burned down by religious fanatics?
i.e., The Nalanda University was burned down around the late 1100s because it didn't have a copy of the Quoran in the library.

and also, the Library of Alexandria was burned down by the Christians (I think).

Liberal arts, law, theology, medicine.
>Which university is the oldest on earth
Bologna is the first proper university in the modern sense of term. The concept of university itself comes from the Western tradition.
>How would the world today be like if education/universities weren't burned down by religious fanatics
We'd know of more ancient scriptures and authors than we do now. Nothing drastic probably, as Aristotelian thought would most likely still dominate the West.

No such thing occurred. Garbage meme pagan texts explaining how to most properly sacrifice a goat accused of homosexuality is not something anybody is missing
