who is responsible for the 2000 year death of chemistry

The 2000-year "Death of Chemistry" is generally attributed to Aristotle. During this long period, known as the "Death of Chemistry," no significant advances were made, and the field was dominated by Aristotle's views, which discouraged experimental and quantitative approaches. It was not until later, with scientists like Antoine Lavoisier in the 18th century, that chemistry was revived through modern methods and discoveries. Aristotle's philosophical dominance caused a stagnation in chemical knowledge for about two millennia, until the scientific revolution brought renewed progress in the field.
