What is the real truth about the Dark Ages?
The Middle Ages was a 1,000 year time period that doesn't neatly fit into one box. Yet it's a popular misconception today that the entire era was a "Dark Age", where Europe regressed scientifically and wallowed in poverty. However, there's a problem - this is a complete myth! No actual historian uses the term "Dark Ages". It's a pop culture misnomer that's been used to mischaracterize the time between the Fall of Rome and the Renaissance. So what was the real story of the Middle Ages? In this documentary on Pax Tube, I shine light on the truth.
