So, it's pretty much accepted as fact that the 'dark age' after the fall of Rome was made up during the Enlightenment to fit their world-view.
So I have a new theory.
What if,
What if the Greek Dark Ages after the fall of Troy were also a myth made up by the Greeks to fit some other narrative?
What if the Greek Dark Ages were actually really bitchin'?
They certainly were dark ages in the historiographical sense but that doesn't preclude them from being bitchin', no

no the dark ages after the fall of the romans actually happend. maybe read some history books instead of getting your information from 4chan

OK, whatever. My question still stands. What if the Greek Dark Ages were actually cool? Doesn't Xena take place in the Greek Dark Ages?
>>595536
The Greek dark age corresponds with the larger bronze age collapse, a period that makes the fall of rome look a simple change of government by comparison

Does that mean the Sea Peoples make Germanics and Goths look like pussies?
The more I read about the 18th and 19th centuries the worse they look compared to the middle ages.

No, there were more factors then just Sea People, what I'm saying is civilization was set back farther at the close of the bronze age then after Rome
>>595649
What else happened besides Sea Peoples? Was there, like, a volcano?

No one really knows

Famine.
