I probably sound stupid but I want why the dark ages are dark ages. Like I know it's because of medieval Europe dropping in medicinal research science etc. But why did they stop researching more after the Greek and Roman Empire died
Hi there -- not a dumb question at all. We have an extensive section of our FAQ on the early Middle Ages, aka the "Dark Ages." In particular this AMA may be of some interest to you in talking about the transition from classical antiquity to the early MA in Western Europe. If you have follow up questions, feel free to ask them here.
