Made me laugh anyway...

'Britain was left on its own. It had taken back control from the unelected bureaucrats of Rome, and was free at last to explore its own destiny. And it did that by entering the Dark Ages'

The Dark Ages were not a cultural waste ground. They got their name because we didn't know much about that time.

"The Dark Ages were not a cultural waste ground. They got their name because we didn't know much about that time. "

Compared to the Classical Age and what was going on in the Byzantine Empire at the time - an extension of the Roman Classical Age, the Dark Ages were regressive.

Little innovation in the Europe by the way of metal or stone working, no major road projects.

The Catholic Church swept in a created an entrenched class built upon a proto-serfdom. Not to mention had it not been for the Islamic Nations to the East, and the Byzantine Empire, the West would have lost all those wonderful classical texts on Philosophy, Medicine, Geography, the Foundations of Science...because the Church wanted nothing to do with anything, which was not about the beginnings of Christianity.

Except, the term is used now (if at all) to describe non-Christianised areas because of the output from religious bodies and the paucity of written work from non-Christian in the western world.
