The main reason Charlemagne’s empire didn’t survive for long after his death was because Frankish custom at that time called for the land of a deceased Frankish head of household to be equally shared among all surviving sons.

Slight correction: the leader of the caliph in Islam was to be elected according to Sunni Muslims. Shi'a muslims believe it should come from prophet Muhammad's family. So the early leaders ( from 632-661) were indeed appointed based on their skills and leadership; not just their relationship to Muhammad.

I like the video but I believe 476 is actually the 5th century, many people make this mistake but if you think about it it makes sense. from 0 - 100 C.E. is the 1st century, 100 -200 is second, 200 - 300 is the 3rd, 300-400 is the 4th, and finally 400- 500 is the 5th, just a small mistake there, hope this helps and thanks for videos like this

Take any commercial in the US, there's no White males, despite them being the majority in the country.

Nice one. I like these snippets of history.

I believe that the Dark Ages is a perfect name for this time. First of all, it is a reference to the lack of direct written evidence from that time, which remains a fact. Also, there was a major decline in literacy, mathematics, engineering (except, perhaps, in metallurgy), urban planning (as in: there wasn't any). After reading dozens of books and listening to numerous lectures, I am MORE convinced that the Dark Ages should be called "The Dark Ages".

And don't forget that during the Dark Ages much of Western Knowledge was preserved and even extended by the Islamic Empire. Hence, the word "algebra" is derived from Arabic. From my reading, this formerly Western Knowledge was reintroduced via the Islamic Empire back into Western Culture during the Renaissance. This break in continuity in Western Knowledge rightfully makes the name Dark Ages justified. But overpaid professors sheltered in the Ivory Towers of Academia do need something controversial once in a while to justify their existence, so the trivial argument of whether the Dark Ages were really all that "dark" probably kept at least several otherwise flagging academic careers alive.

Paganism had already been outlawed in Rome by this time and pagans persecuted. Also, the Germanic tribes followed a different form of Christianity that was denounced by the Roman church.

You are attacking a strawman argument and false claims. Only the Visigoths were Arians. Other Germanic Tribes who led to the decline of Western Rome were Pagans. Also for your kind information there were Greco-roman pagans even as late as 804 AD. The outlawing wasn't strictly implemented. There were pagans even in the Imperial court even during the 5th century when western Rome Fell. And why did you conveniently leave out the biggest contributer to the fall of Western Rome-Attila and the Huns who ravaged and massacred across europe leading to a huge population decline in Western Rome. Atiila and the Huns who were Hardcore Pagans? Was it against your narrative?

I made no mention of Atilla or the non-Arian Germanic tribes because they were not relevant to the claim made in the video. I would also point out that whilst paganism undoubtedly survived in the Roman empire, my statement that paganism had been outlawed and that persecution of the pagans had taken place was factually correct.

The "Dark Ages" term is not a misnomer. It started off with at least a year of ash blocking out the sun (probably from Krakatoa), followed by a decade of relative worldwide darkness and coldness due to volcanic eruptions and climate change. For the next 500 years, this would be later known as the Little Ice Age, while hundreds of millions were ravaged by plague, malnutrition and starvation as better nourished invaders repeatedly looted them for their last remaining sustenance. Many believed this really was the first glimpse of the apocalypse, hence the scientific backtracking of society... and were they wrong? Hardly.

Correction: 476 CE is the fifth century, not the fourth century (as stated at 0:33 ).

What is your definition of "progress" and "decline"? If you were a slave in Europe, the "Dark Ages" was the beginning of the end of being a slave in the European Continent. Maritime sciences continued to progress during the "Dark Ages" and neither the Muslims nor the Chinese ever really caught up to the head start the Romans gave Europe in all things Naval. They other thing that is often forgotten is that during the "Dark Ages" Europeans started to push the boundaries of what could be built with stone.....and some of the great Cathedrals were even started in this period. So if you like giant Cathedrals, the development of maritime technology and the elimination of slavery and beginning of concepts such as constitutions and limiting the absolute power of monarchs, there was plenty of progress during the "so-called Dark Ages". Yes Europe was fragmented politically, but this proved to be a very short-term handicap. The idea that Europe "declined" during this age is entirely a matter of historical narrative...often driven by contemporary political sentiments. Specifically comparing a "declined" Europe to a "Thriving" Muslim world is Orientalism at it's best. Why do we never say that the Mongols overtook Europe? Conquering equals not overtaking. While the Mongols and Muslims built empires of conquest, plunder and slavery, Europeans built ships, Cathedrals and shared political power structures. Seeing that 1/3 of all people in the Roman Empire were slaves, I would gladly trade their splendor and efficient administration for life as a backwater peasant during the Dark Ages.

Bro its ok to use the correct term (AD) Anno Domini is Medieval Latin and means 'in the year of the Lord'

I think the Goths are unfairly associated with the fall of Rome. They were just a particular tribe that early on proved adaptive more warlike than other barbarian tribes. This was not the case in Iberia as they had become totally civilized after a point and lost their customs, which wouldn't reemerge until the Reconquest. The Goths early had developed their own written language based on Greek and their runes and had developed their own branch of Christianity. When they sacked Rome, they were Christian and were not abusive towards the Roman peoples. Look at the story of Alaric and it's difficult not to take his side in the matter. And when they conquered Rome (from primarily other Germanic tribes) they encouraged Roman values and culture among Romans and invested great time and resources to see its continuation. More so it was other Germanic tribes like the Franks and Lombards who capitulated to the Church at every turn, especially by the time you get to Charlemagne, these were the illiterate barbarians who caused the dark ages. Not the Goths.

Besides, headless horses have been found in Visigothic tombs in Spain, which means they still performed germanic rites and it's the same kind of rite found in scandinavia

Hey,I agree with you there too...Christianity wasn't forced on Rome...It had been thriving for a long while...but definitely it was brought to the masses by Constantine(the first modern Emperor)and,yes the declined of the Roman Empire ensued...but,because it ceased to be a military 🪖 power...but,most of the rest was chronologically accurate...

Very well done

i highly recommend "THE GREAT CONTROVERSY BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN" ELLEN G.WHITE 1888 , REV.1911

let's get real, the level of science, philosophy, thought, architecture, and art during the dark ages in europe was well below that of the classical period.

The term known as the Middle Ages is synonymous with the Dark Ages for several reasons as the period between 500-1500 A.D. included political turmoil, social unrest and the spread of disease. SOUND FAMILAR ?

Fall of Rome was the 5th Century (410 AD), not the 4th Century

Rome never fell. “Dark ages” is 100 percent secularist propaganda heavily biased and meant to discredit Christianity during the enlightenment period and by the governments attempting to rid themselves of the church influence. This is just factual and everyone should be honest about the blatant anti Christian bias whether or not you believe in it. Historical accuracy is important

I should say that Rome didn’t fall until much later, in the East it was when Constantinople was sacked by the ottomans and in the west they gradually drifted away

@@JA-jx1hk You are quite right. Modern unbiased historians should subscribe to the views you describe succinctly. There was nothing dark about this period. The Church not only survived fifth century but it’s importance increased vastly, among others thugs it provided cultural continuity, the responsibility Rome all but abdicated. Sadly, the video is silent about all these fascinating transitions and therefore rather superficial.

no one else noticed the different slavs land locations on these maps, how they change not too many years apart, on one map its a slavic territory and another its germanic, I personally think that the slavs were in central, eastern and southern europe for thousands of years.

noo. History starts with Holly Roman Empire and German tribes without Kingdom.. Slavs was just some vandal tribes, without calendar, language, culture, religion, varvaric and stupid and weak. That official history

neat presentation

The trial of Pope Formosus and the Cadaver Synod occurred during the Dark Ages - read about that event and tell me if you can still say that those countries were not characterized by excessive superstition and ignorance. The title "Dark ages" is well deserved by the Western European countries of this period

My class had to watch this

As an insurance broker, most standard carriers will NOT insure homes w/ knob-&-tube, fuse boxes, galvanized steel-plumbing or roofs over 20-years (this latter w/o inspection clearing it). After the insurance-inspection (when buyers already own the home), all these can issues can be flagged, along with/ overhanging tree limbs. Policies have been flagged for cancellation for any and all these. Get a good insurance broker too.

I have not had insurance for 32 years now. I now have $44,000 in savings. Insurance is a big con.

Dark ages here I come....where the earth stands still for the revolving sun!

7:11 also, I don't know if you were aware of this, as it was not mentioned in the video, but that is not the Aqsa Mosque (one of the richest, most important, and recognized mosques in Isalm) but rather it is the Dome of the Rock. It's a really common mistake many people make, even Muslims, so I just thought it would be nice to mention it.

The Council of Nicea was actually about refuting the Arian heresy. The "core beliefs" of Christianity were solidified considerably earlier. For example, consider the Rule of Faith as it appears in Irenaeus c. A.D. 177. Also, the Carlingian period is fairly widely accepted as a period of significant scholarship and reform. Particularly, the reign of Charles the Bald saw a number of important discussions: the debates about the Eucharist (Radbertus and Ratramnus), predestination (Gottschalk, Hincmar, and Eriugena) and the Iconoclastic controversy (Theodulf) all involved Carolingian thinkers. The Carolingian reforms regarding catechetical preaching are also noteworthy, as are Alcuin of York's Bible and Hilduin and Eriugena's translations of the Eastern Church Fathers into Latin.

Good effort.
