The Dark Ages happened.
Population, urban population, economic activity & specialization collapsed. The art looks like shit. The coins are coarse and ugly. There are no written records. It was a local collapse of civilization and historians are wrong to deny it. https://t.co/MMwRXG4ydo

Agreed. The pseudo-historians are wrong, wrong, wrong about this. The Dark Ages definitely occurred, and were pretty stygian indeed. Anything from that era looks like absolute shit compared to the Roman or even earlier Greek high culture eras.
Why historians need to deny the Dark Ages occurred is complex, but mostly has to do with the fact that they do not believe human culture should be judged at all, partially due to the leftist implicit (and sometimes explicit) embrace of Islamofascism after 9/11. And culture very much should be judged.
