यूरोप में मध्यकाल को अंधकार का युग क्यों कहा जाता है ?
Answers
Some historians says if there was any kind of dark ages in medieval period, it was during the earliest part of the medieval period due to fall of roman empire in Britain during 5th-6th century. There is lack of written resources to know about this period in details.
But according to a 14th century Italian poet, petrarch who was a great admirer of the ancient Romes and Greeks, compared those times with his own and found that he wasn't happy with the present day situation. Some Italian writers just saw this period when everything was in decline, when roman great buildings was about to destroy and no one was producing any recreational works.
This question asks, "Why is the Medieval period in Europe known as the Age of Darkness?"
The answer to this question is that from 1200 BC to 800 BC in Greek history, historians couldn't find any related article.
For about 400 years, Greece was in darkness and there is no available writing of this period. The writings were not created during the time.
After the dark period, the civilization started again with a completely new dialect.
