As you can see here, the Dark Ages technically began when Rome took over the Mediterranean, and the Greeks were no longer in charge. It got much worse during the 6th-8th centuries, but increased again, and by the 11th century, we passed Ancient Rome, and by the 12th, we passed Alexander.There, we can stop solely blaming Christianity or Germanic barbarians and realize the Romans were the real instigators of the Dark Ages all along, with their degenerate hedonism and their "quantity over quality."
>>18291465Christianity ruined Europe. Notice how the irreversible decline in Greece starts as soon as Constantine takes over?
>>18291468It's mindboggling.OP posts the best evidence for the Dark Ages being caused by Christianity I've ever seen and somehow decides this is due to the Italian ethnicity. I remember when they would simply try to deny the Dark Ages existed at all...
>>18291473Those the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. In the case of Yahweh those he wishes to destroy he first makes retarded.
>>18291465But the Romans of the Imperial Era clustered with Greeks, Cypriots, and Syrians and there was a massive increase in J2 and G from Anatolia/Mesopotamia during that time. If it weren't for Foederati, the Roman Empire would have been defeated by the Huns, other Germanic peoples and Roman civil war usurpers earlier than it was by them (BTW The Crisis of the Third Century, which caused high mortality in the Roman army and prepared it to be filled by Germanics, started with the assassination of Alexander Severus/End of the Severan Dynasty, criticized by retards who accuse the Edict of Caracalla of destroying Rome because of Muh Multiculturalism but don't know that they were already like that back then, Severans were Punics mixed the Italians and Berbers, the Punics were Greeks and that was the usurpers of the Severans who initiated a century of civil wars that nearly destroyed Rome). Foederati turned against Rome because they did not have full rights and Rome did not pay them properly because it was bankrupt despite they being the reason the Western Roman Empire lasted longer.

>>18291507>>18291504So Rome is just one big multiethnic cum dump then, huh?

>>18291510Only Syrians are genetically distant from Italics because they lack both WHG and Steppe.
>>1829147311th century christianity propped europe up more than ancient roman paganism
>>18291541No, Roman and Greek pagan intellectuals propped up 11th century Europe. Consider the fact that Aquinas refers to Aristotle, a man dead for over a millennium, as “The” Philosopher. Roman law is pagan, Greek philosophy is pagan, Roman architecture is pagan, Greek engineering is pagan, Greek medicine is pagan, Greek astronomy is pagan. Galen, Hippocrates, Vitruvius, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Ptolemy, Cicero, Seneca, Euclid, Archimedes. These weren’t Christians, they are pagans. It seems the wisdom of the world was in fact.. wisdom.
>>18291550>catholics did hellenism better than the greeks and romans did
>>18291465This is retarded and you know why. At least I hope you do
>>18291465>Greek people stop writing on scrolls>European knowledge collapses like a house of cards
>>18292536Evidently not since as soon as Catholics started widely reconstituting their Greek literary corpus centuries of religious strife ensued and now the entire continent of Europe is secular.
>>18291465>As you can see here, the Dark Ages technically began when Rome took over the Mediterraneanyeah, that's why all the learned Romans spoke greek and all the Romans considered greece to be the intellectual capital of the world
