ABOVE THE HULLABALOO
Che Return of the Dark Ages?
By LYTLE HULL

In the year 476 A. D., Odoacer.
king Of the Germanic tribe Of the
Heruli. proclaimed himself king OF
Italy. and the greatest and longest
lived empire the world has ever
known-was no more. II had taken
many, many years TO destroy the
great Roman empire-it took many
centuries for the world TO recover
from the results.
The thousand years following 476
"A. d. are called the Middle ages,
and the first six or seven hundred
years Of the Middle ages are called
by many historians the Dark ages.
While II Is true that these So
called Dark ages were productive
Of many great geniuSes and Of
many great institutions. il must be
acknowledged that during this Pc
riod there was-in Europe at least
"a very marked stoppage in the
progress Of that which we are ac-
customed to call civilization. In
fact even the remnants Of this
human boast" were driven out Of
the Europe which Rome had 'ele-
vated' and were discovered later
on In the Middle East by the Cru
saders.
II is not that the Barbarian con-
Querors particularly desired to con-
tinue the crude existence 10 which
they were accustomed: as a mat
ter Of fact they attempted in many
areas to adopt the more highly
civilized habits and customs Of the
vanQuished peoples. But forceful
subjugauon Of conquered peoples is
not conducive to political or SCI
entific progress. Natural uprisings
and revolts compelled the usurpers
20 expend their time and energies
solely upon military matters. Al
most everything else was forgotten
until centuries of time finally res
cued western Europe from that
long period OF hesitation" and
