TO WHAT «DARK AGES» ARE YOU REFERRING?
>As the accomplishments of the era came to be better understood in the 19th and the 20th centuries, scholars began restricting the Dark Ages appellation to the Early Middle Ages;[1][5][6] today's scholars maintain this posture.[7] The majority of modern scholars avoid the term altogether because of its negative connotations, finding it misleading and inaccurate.[8][9][10][11][12] Despite this, Petrarch's pejorative meaning remains in use,[13][14][15] particularly in popular culture, which often oversimplifies the Middle Ages as a time of violence and backwardness.[16][17]

The Pahntom Time theory comes into play here - the best version is proposed by Gunnar Heinsohn, who states that around 700 years were added into our chronology. In other words, the crisis of 2nd century Rome, 6th century Byzantium and 10th century Europe, were all 1 crisis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c876lPZ-UZU&list=PLxabnVY97eqq-UVPy70EX_Ct3rVVW7d7l&index=2&Think about it for a second - even with primitive technology, why would it take a millenium for people to start developing a civilization again?
