The "Dark Ages" are a complete myth and Europeans were far more technologically, culturally, and economically advanced and prolific than Native Americans in the Early Middle Ages, in spite of deurbanization and the other recessions of the time period.

> The "Dark Ages" are a complete myth

I think you are greatly exaggerating an argument that merely attacks a strawperson: That everything was bad, etc. in the Dark Ages. The world isn't as simple as the strawperson, but the Dark Ages were pretty dark compared to ancient Rome before and, of course, the Englightenment that followed (in which, by a broader definition, we still live).

> Europeans were far more technologically, culturally, and economically advanced and prolific than Native Americans in the Early Middle Ages

Could you share some source to support that, where people can read more?

>First paragraph

The argument posited was that Europeans during the "Dark Ages" were inferior economically and culturally to the Native Americans. There's virtually no point in history in which this was true.

>Could you share some source to support that, where people can read more?

The Iron Age

Prolific Written Language

Interstate Commerce

Sophisticated Art, particularly music

Prolific Agrarian societies

Prolific complex architecture

That's just a few examples. There's no single source, it's self evident when surveying the Early Middle Ages.

Those are more claims; in what sources could we find support for them? Or maybe you are an historian or archaeologist?

> Prolific complex architecture

> Prolific Agrarian societies

Those did exist in the Americas, off the top of my head, and problably others did too.

I don't mean that sarcastically - maybe you have some expertise.
