Have you ever wanted to go back in the past? I bet you’ve thought that at some point, but what I've realized is that it wouldn't really be worth it. Things haven't really changed, even since the Middle Ages. Certainly we have more technology now, different modern day countries, and the human race improved a bit. By a bit I mean, people still relate to each other and treat each other as they always have, even when they shouldn't, especially in the Middle Ages. Speaking of the Middle Ages, I consider that time period to be an example of “dark times” in history.
When you say “Dark Ages” or “Middle Ages,” my mind immediately goes to the Black Death, also known as the Bubonic Plague.
