| Teo said: The Dark Ages mainly refers to Europe. It was nicknamed that because it was a time when there was a decline in people obtaining higher education. Children were born and died never learning how to read at higher numbers than during the Roman Empire. Many books were burned and thrown away, mainly by religious people. Everyone became less sanitary and fresh water was contaminated. People threw their garbage and shit out their windows because the Roman's system was destroyed and abandoned. The nickname had nothing to do with civilization not moving forward like some of you said, as some of you pointed out, civilization did move forward. |
Very nicely put!
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
