Am I the only one left in the world who still believes that the Dark Ages were dark?? It seems everything I read now asserts how the medieval era was "so...much...more!" They go on to describe the case, and if I had to choose a metaphor it would be coming out of a fine French restaurant fed to satiety and being accosted, hey, this rotten raw carrot, it's not nothing! No. It's not nothing. But it's not much, either.
I think it's all a scam because they ran out of subjects for doctoral theses.

As I probably wrote you some time ago, in Italy we've got a very well known historian, Alessandro Barbero, who's strongly fighting the idea that middle age was somehow "dark".
Funny enough, the only middle age historian I have among my friends told me the same thing 30 years ago, when we met the first time.
Anyway, if you want to go a bit deeper into this topic this is one of the many contributions by A. Barbero.

@max this is in fact the very thing I am watching right this minute that caused me to make the post!!! Also Alberto Angela. It's part of my homework for Italian to keep me interested in the grammar because I like the subject matter, but now I'm hoarse from yelling at the screen...

Sorry, my English is far worse than your Italian, I can't understand if you're in the team "middle age was dark" or in the team "middle age wasn't dark" 😁

@Gina There is that 🙁 I don't think I've been on it once, for a good 10 years to be honest. Wouldn't surprise me if all the post were. Enshittification is real.
