Original Note:
The idea of the "dark ages", of an ignorant, stagnant, smelly, dirty, violent middle ages is outdated. Egyptian, Greek & Roman empires had many of the same problems. Hollywood movies are not realistic. https://twitter.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1689823058410803200 https://fakehistoryhunter.net/2019/09/10/medieval-myths-bingo/ https://www.medievalists.net/2022/05/dark-ages/ https://time.com/5911003/middle-ages-myths/ https://www.getty.edu/news/no-such-thing-as-the-dark-ages/ https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/just-how-dark-were-the-dark-ages https://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2019/05/25/debunking-the-so-called-dark-ages/ https://www.historyhit.com/why-were-the-early-middle-ages-called-the-dark-ages/ https://www.europeana.eu/en/blog/the-not-so-dark-middle-ages https://www.historytoday.com/back-dark-ages https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-myth-of-the-dark-ages-ignores-how-classical-traditions-flourished-around-the-world-180982190/ https://archive.org/details/dictionaryofmidd0000unse_y1k9_supp1/page/383/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/newcambridgemedi700four_962/page/n95/mode/2up https://lithub.com/the-dark-ages-werent-as-dark-as-we-thought/ https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/just-how-dark-were-the-dark-ages https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/sep/25/the-light-ages-by-seb-falk-review-banishing-the-idea-of-the-dark-ages http://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2019/05/25/debunking-the-so-called-dark-ages/ https://www.historyhit.com/why-were-the-early-middle-ages-called-the-dark-ages/ https://twitter.com/Calthalas/status/1584207720399314945 https://modernmedieval.substack.com/p/you-gotta-do-the-reading-man https://twitter.com/sottewillsoulsb/status/1669604179969552384
