One of the tropes of fantasy is a medieval world that has stayed roughly the same technologically for thousands of years.

In reality the middle-ages at least in Europe was was not really stagnant technologically. There are other cultures on earth however namely hunter-gatherers who have indeed not had any differences in development for thousands of years until relatively recently if at all.

Could there have been a way the medieval era never ended or lasted a thousand years longer than it really did?
