Hear me out. I know a lot of us learned about the "Dark Ages" as the period of time between the fall of (Western) Rome and the Middle Ages, or sometimes even up to the Renaissance, in Europe.
But the term Dark Ages, which comes from Italian humanist Francesco Petrarch, is just one man's 14th-century perspective; is it really accurate to call an entire 1,000-year period the "Dark Ages" just because it wasn't Rome?
Most modern historians don't use the phrase anymore, but it's still commonly used outside academia. Here are my arguments for why we should stop calling it the Dark Ages.
