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?

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

> Or maybe you are an historian or archaeologist?

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