    Daily reminder no historian calls it “the Dark Ages.” It’s either the “Middle Ages” or “Medieval Ages.” Never dark.

    If you can’t even get the fucking name right, you shouldn’t be making videos, regardless of how wrong you still are.

    Does “medieval” apply outside the Eurasian context? Does it make any sense to categorize various indigenous American civilizations as medieval, or does the term only apply to a time period?

      I may have seen it used before, but pre-Colombian almost always makes more sense. And even that label is still defining things through colonizer terms rather than indigenous ones.

          I think there’s decent evidence of trade between the West Coast of the Americas and island cultures way out in the Pacific long before European contact
