Waldemar Looks At The Dark Ages In A New Light | Age Of Light: Full Series

The Dark Ages have been misunderstood. History has identified the period following the fall of the Roman Empire with a descent into barbarism - a terrible time when civilisation stopped. Waldemar Januszczak disagrees. In this four-part series he argues that the Dark Ages were a time of great artistic achievement, with new ideas and religions provoking new artistic adventures. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:12 The Clash Of Gods 00:59:19 What The Barbarians Did For Us 01:58:44 The Wonder Of Islam 02:57:52 Vikings: Men Of The North Perspective is YouTube's home for the arts.
