    That last bit is the dark ages myth, mostly created in the 19th century.

    The middle ages were way better than is commonly suggested. Aside from a couple of major epidemics, but we’ve recently seen that we’re not immune to that.

      No.

      The Dark Ages myth is separate from the idea that the fall of the Roman Empire negatively impacted Europe in a massive way.
