General Insight into the Dark Ages
The Dark Ages are also commonly referred to as the Medieval Times or Middle Ages. Nevertheless, many historians argue that the Dark Ages are only a part of the Medieval Times. Though this is in debate, the Dark Ages are more commonly just a synnonym of the previously given terms.
The Dark Ages are a 1,000 year period from the V century to the XV century. They are characterized because, supposedly, art and science did not flourish as much as in previous ages.
This is a misconception - there was art and there was science - probably even more than during older times. Nevertheless, during the Dark Ages, there was torture, war, plague and other bad situations which made the Medieval Times seem dark - and thus called the Dark Ages.
