The "Dark Ages" weren't as gloomy as we once believed. Recent research has shown that this period, roughly from the 5th to the 15th century, was full of progress and innovation. People made advances in agriculture, technology, and education, with universities like Oxford and Cambridge being founded. Art and culture flourished too, with beautiful manuscripts and architecture from this era still admired today. So, while the name "Dark Ages" makes it sound like a time of complete chaos and stagnation, it was actually a period of significant growth and development. #brightside br br Animation is created by Bright Side.
