A documentary on the Roman empire

[CapnAwesome]

Historians worth their salt, have turned away from the term 'dark ages'.
Why: Because the decline of the Roman Empire ended, what was called the dark ages is a time of growth. New development heather people with new technologies.

Wow, just wow. I don't know where someone would get this type of historical perspective. Look at the archeology of Roman cities. In the dark ages people were squatting in the ruins of Roman cities. Literally. The British couldn't even reproduce the armor of the Roman invaders for 1000 years. Look at the history of indoor pluming and heating in Rome compared to the rest of Europe in the dark ages.

I think you have been misinformed. I don't know how you can dismiss all the progress made in the Roman empire by saying it was just made by Roman citizens by not in Italy itself. That's absurd. If I invent something while I'm in Mexico, does it make it a Mexican invention? I can also definitely say that this is not an opinion popularly held by historians. My degree is in history and I have never even heard the idea that the dark ages had more progress than the Roman empire. I think you'd get laughed at if you presented that to a real historian.
