Professor Anthony Esolen

He does a Prager U video in which he argues that the Dark Ages were the Brilliant Ages. He convincingly provides example after example on how much they did  and made, and what they contributed to us.

He points out that they  honored their ancestors and surpassed them, while we dishonor our ancestors and may not surpass their achievements.

The Dark Ages still may have been the Dark Ages but they seem less Dark than I was previously taught they were, and I have a new appreciation for much excellence that we inherited from them.
