Most people accept the dark ages (a better term would be the middle ages) lasted from the fall of the Roman Empire (5th century) to the start of the Renaissance (15th century). It has since the Renaissance been traditionally thought that the 1,000 or so years between the fall of the Roman Empire to the start of the Renaissance was a period marked by stagnant technological advancements and artistic masterpieces. It was often called "the dark ages". We all know about the black plague and pillaging nomadic tribes, but it was often overlooked that hospitals were created during this period. The Persian Empire was introduced to paper (invented in China) which helped the Muslim scholars create the number system we use as well as the creation of books. It is often thought that the Renaissance, or the "age of antiquity" would not have happened without the invention of paper or our number system.
French architects began building lavish cathedrals inspired by Persian architectural designs with intricate columns and massively tall and wide stain glass windows. The columns of these structures seem to float in mid air. The Magna Carta was signed in England which is considered the first document that put legal limits on the powers of monarchs and lead to modern day Democracy.
