Interesting story Garg, interesting story.
And thanks Marc for the background info. It’s easy to forget/overlook things like that.
Falk, for your benefit
Dark Ages 400-1050
High Middle Ages 1050-1450
Renaissance 1450-1600
Thanks…. in germany ususally Dark Age and High Middle Age are put together to Middle Age, with distincting two or three “eras” in that.
American Historians ussually break up the Renaissance and the middle ages with the fall of Constantinople
Yeah, there are different ways to make that cut.
Some say Columbus, some say Fall of Byzantine…. I don’t think that you can make that up on one event. It happened around 1500, that’s good enough for me :)
